It's having its Saddam moment. Now the question is, who goes on the plinth instead ?

P.S. I thought someone else on BE might have started this thread.

Bristol: Has a nice suspension bridge that opened in 1864 as a toll bridge and it still cant be paid off as it still is one. Other than that I will rely on this link

Sorry I thought this thread was actually about Bristol, BE member here lol

Then I remembered the crazy photos and videos on BBC news

Colston Hall is due for a name change, will the schools also change?

First thing I thought of when I saw they'd taken down the statue. I lived in Bristol for 6 years before immigrating.

I'm available on weekends.

But only for another two weeks and then the football starts again.

Come to think of it, I don't have a head for heights.

It's hard to condone mob violence, but I thought this was a good take on it:

Hi

I think maybe a statue of a primative man or woman

it might not upset to many people then

cheers J

How about "Horace Batchelor"

I thought Banksy's idea of a re-enactment of the toppling was very inspired.

Makes one feel quite proud. We were first with the riots back in 1980 too.
