    The statue of Edward Colston, slave trader of the Royal African Company, has been toppled by crowds in the centre of Bristol.

    The toppling of Edward Colston's statue is not an attack on history. It is history.

    I'm very moved that Paul remembers me and my sister from school. And still grateful for him sticking up for us, all those years ago.

    In the hope that it helps me get onto next years list can I just point out the lack of diversity in this year's Daily Mail Woke List.

    Some might say being on the Mail on Sunday’s Woke List is far lovelier than being on the Rich List. Badge of honour?

    They're not a lynch mob. He's not real. He's made of bronze. The real Colston died at home 299 years ago, a very old man, unlike the 19,000 Africans who died on the ships of the Royal African company when he was a board member.

    You know, it's almost as if they want to distract people from their lethally failed response to the pandemic and the consequences of a disastrous Brexit?

    That’s disgusting. The ultimate false equivalence. This is why we need Public history, this is why we need holocaust remembrance.

    But the unlawful approvals of planning decisions on behalf of billionaire Conservative party donors are fine.

    We undermine the rule of law, which underpins our democracy, if we accept vandalism and criminal damage are acceptable forms of political protest. They aren’t. Regardless of the intentions. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…

    This is truly disgusting. And by the same ridiculous, twisted logic the Holocaust would not be counted as a genocide.

    "Slavery was not genocide, otherwise there wouldn't be so many damn blacks in Africa or in Britain would there?" David Starkey, one of the most widely known popular 'historians' in the UK who has been a regular fixture on TV and other media for decades.

    And there might be a reason why I'm always 'banging on' about the past; I'm a historian you Muppet!
