Same thing happened with the statue of Harold Wilson. Several sites, Guido Fawkes, Newsnight and some Tory MPs all reacted to this 'story' which was based on... one tweet.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the statue of Richard I outside the Houses of Parliament.
Didn't he personally order the execution of 2700 Muslim prisoners ? [Post edited 1 Jul 2020 12:42]

The difference being that Roman slavery, unlike that of the European colonies in the 16th to 19th centuries, was not based on race, but was truly equal opportunity. |  |

Not sure that's 100% accurate, he lied about loads of other stuff too, not just the EU. |  |

Ah yes! He then spread his wings and started lying about all manner of things when he progressed to having a column rather than being a humble journalist. | |

Similar to the hoo ha about Churchill's statue which was vandalised which is wrong nobody was suggesting taking it down but somehow the Conservative's said they were going to protect a statue. The ability of the right talking about "PC gone mad" when nobody is actually complaining is staggering. It's up there with Christmas decorations/celebrations being cancelled which was never a thing until the Daily Mail/Express and The Sun got their hands on it... |  | | |

I see this is your new pet piece of whataboutery. I'm guessing you saw something about it on twitter and now feel it invalidates anything the Guardian now publishes. | |

It's the most pathetic piece of whatabouttery since this:
Full context: a post about Dominic Cummings being a fan of eugenics.
It's basically like saying Donald Trump couldn't possibly be a racist because Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves. | |
