[Summit] The mayor of London Sadiq Khan has appointed a rogues gallery of woke partisans as a ’task force’ to review whether statues and other landmarks in the city are ’diverse enough’.The selection is chocked full of people who have previously declared their disdain for Britain’s history, prompting warnings that unelected activists with an axe to grind are being placed in charge of erasing history.
Khan has said that it isn’t the intention of the commission to pull down statues, but merely to ‘raise public understanding’.
And that ‘understanding’ is seemingly that practically every statue, street name, and memorial in London is racist.
One of the members is a man called Toyin Agbetu, who previously vandalised a statue of Robert Geffrye, a former London mayor with links to the slave trade, with red paint in an effort to symbolise the ‘blood on his hands’.
The Commission also includes an art critic by the name of Aindrea Emelife, who previously expressed supported for BLM activists who pulled down a statue of Edward Colston last year.
