It is removing the past. It is removing the evidence. Like I say, add your story. What are you afraid of?

Public shaming if that is what you want.

It is called context. Move it to a museum if you like. But removing stuff is censorship, or was the last time I read the entry in various dictionaries.

Or is censorship what others do to prevent you saying what you want. And removing is what you do?

Or am I talking in another language?

Now do we have an opinion on Roman statues? Some of the worse despots that maintained a slave culture. Ah! But that is antiquity, it has a different patina! And we value stuff that old.
Context? Try it.

And the UK police currently have an anti-slavery unit. Talk about history repeating itself............ Out of sight, out of mind!
