Monuments and statues belong to the history of a place. The people or events they portray are what shaped the location and it’s inhabitants. Past events and actions should be seen in their historical context. What is unacceptable now was accepted convention in another age. To tear down monuments and the like are acts of vandalism similar to those iconoclastic actions of Al Qaeda and ISIS. This has gone far too far...... and the sensible middle ground within this country has to say “enough IS enough!” By all means put supplementary notices on these edifices explaining the negatives AS WELL as the positives.... but LEAVE THEM ALONE!

Don’t let mob rule take over our city, the majority of protesters are just out to cause trouble and damage without a thought to the reasons behind the protest or who’s lives they are destroying. Keep Sunderland civilised.
