Wasn’t expecting that verdict.

[Citizen's Nephew]

At first glance this seems a fine example of white, middle class privilege. Something I normally am minded to dismiss.

Colston is a very controversial figure, but that goes for many and you can't go pulling down stuff because you personally don't like it

Am surprised the jury found them not guilty, but as with all court cases, it's best to go with the decision of those who heard the entire case.

Saying Colston is a very controversial figure is a bit like saying Epstein or Maxwell were/are controversial figures when in fact they're all hideous individuals. Colston was a slaver. There's nothing controversial about it. The jury did the right thing, for once. They clearly didn't feel the need to stick the boot in and f*ck these people's lives up for doing something that is a lot less bad than speeding on the motorway.
