I find it amusing in itself that the people tried for this vandalism were all White and middle class. The judge in this case should be struck off and a retrial ordered.

Wonder if they’ve checked their family trees for any slave related misdemeanours? Not an issue for us peasants but who knows what lurks in their histories?

I think the judge was wrong to allow the defence to produce a historian who was allowed to lecture the jury for 2 hours on the evils of slavery. He should have put a stop to that the defence should only be allowed to produce evidence / justification that was relevant to the charge. For example the statue was structurally unsafe and I told the council that but they ignored me so in order to protect lives we pulled it down rather than it collapse on a passer by. If the defendants wished to justify their actions so be it but an expert witness was wrong.

The idea that a group of White middle class idealists decide that most Black people can't handle the complexities of history and will somehow wilt at the sight of a statue is so patronizing and bonkers that it is hard to believe that It's all real. Moreover, although this case has caused a few ripples, the implications are very serious and worthy of a far greater backlash. The government needs to act decisively and stop worrying about woke votes. The public should be demanding that.
