The statue of slave-trading Tory MP Edward Colston has been thrown in Bristol harbour. Lots of Tories are very upset about this vandalism, but don't seem to care a jot that when slaves got sick on Colston's slave ships, they just threw those living people into the Atlantic Ocean to drown, and then claimed their "loss" on insurance. Imagine being more upset about a statue being thrown into water, than scores of living people. | Another Angry Voice
