The BBC seems flummoxed on what line to take on the pulling down of the statue. Should they approve or disapprove? Obviously a group of Ethiopians doing something is usually cause for 'celebration', but Selassie is a Rastafarian god, so it must be a terrible racist action to pull down his statue. What is the correct line on this?

They will have to refer to their victim hierarchy sheet for this. Actually the guy wasn't white. Not a story. Edited by Penge Eagle (02 Jul 2020 1.59pm)
