Banksy says Edward Colston statue should be replaced with monument of moment it was pulled down
Banksy has suggested that Bristol’s toppled statue of Edward Colston should be replaced with a new monument to commemorate the moment it was pulled down.Last weekend, protesters in Bristol used ropes to pull down the bronze statue of Colston, a prominent 17th Century slave trader who has been a controversial figure in the city for many years.The statue was later dragged through the streets of Bristol and thrown into the harbour.Suggestions on what should occupy the now-empty plinth have since begun to emerge, and Banksy says his idea “caters for both those who miss the Colston statue and those who don’t.” . .
