Rejected petition Stop Local Councils Removing or Amending Memorials or any Statues in our Cities

There is currently a lot of tension within our country, causing thugs to vandalise our memorials and statues in our cities.
Local councils are discussing the removal or amendment of letting on statues in our cities. These statues represent the UK and symbolise the history of our country. Stop this

More details

Stop this happening, it’s disgusting and shows lack of respect. These monuments were acceptable at the time they were placed and shown to the public. These statues and memorials generate tourism and show the UK’s history.
