If it did , I stand corrected

If it didnt then lots of people , who just like you are entitled to their opinion, would walk past that statue and feel very uncomfortable

You say that as time has gone the statue has been there to remind people of what a bad person he was

How do you know it's been left there for that reason , as a reminder to people of how bad he was?

That's what you think or what you want to believe but it's not a fact . The city council have not put , as far as I am aware a sign up saying this is the bloke that shamed bristol
You’ve littered this whole thread with your opinions which aren't fact. In deed you seemed to have lived in every city in the UK, and claim to know everything about them.
Im sure if a Cowbridge country bumpkin like you knows the history of Colston, then I'm sure the Bristolians would know as well.
If they didn't, why did they pull it down.?
