What about all the industrialists who made mega money from creating jobs, goods and wealth for the country and the world on the back of child labour and poor working conditions for their employees. Can’t see them being ‘attacked’ for ‘abusing’ our ancestors.

Where does it all stop?

We need to be very careful about what history we are erasing because despite what some think it wasn’t just about black slaves. You have to say the world has done very well by all the invention and developments driven across the world from this small island throughout history but especially on the back of the industrial revolution.

Our history is something to be proud of, despite its faults.
