I'd say it is a waste of public money if they are investigating every single street name that may or may not have links to historically questionable practices.
I dont need or want to know who the panel are though.
Would be up for all the statues of English royals being lobbed in the Forth ;o)
I think the toppling of Colston was a good moment; as an act of iconoclasm, it sent a signal that was valuable. However, I think that campaigners should now try to concentrate on something other than statues. If they change the big picture in the wake of this starting gun, the symbols and icons will follow naturally, brought down by mere locals, in due course. Wasting enormous energy on things like the Rhodes statue in Oxford or the Geffrye statue in Shoreditch is only going to leave campaigners trailing again. Statues are definitely not the first line of defence to concentrate on. I realise that the momentum may already have been lost again.
