Following a mob pulling down the statue of Colston in Bristol, London Mayor, Sadiq Khan, set up a committee to look at which statues in London should be taken down.
Now Khan has praised the decision to put up a statue of John Chilembwe on the ‘4th Plinth’ in Trafalgar Square, stating that it is: "shining a spotlight on important issues that our society continues to face, and I know they will spark debate and interest at home and abroad."
Chilembwe was a Baptist preacher in Nyasaland (now Malawi). In 1915 he was a leader of an insurrection against colonial rule. He sent his followers with orders to “kill all European men” and bring back the head of William Livingstone, a local plantation boss. Livingstone was decapitated with an axe – in front of his wife and two small children. Chilembwe proceeded to conduct a sermon in church next to the severed head of Livingstone, impaled on a pole.
Colston founded and endowed schools, houses for the poor, hospitals and churches. Yet his statue was pulled down due to his business connections to slavery. Chilembwe was a terrorist, racist and inciter of murder.
The likes of Khan clearly don't want to remove statues that may cause offence, nor do they want to remove statues of racist individuals from the past – they want to remove dead white men in their anti-white, anti-British agenda.

Cromwell is a tricky one for the likes of Khan. Points for chopping off a king's head and being a 'revolutionary', but mass murder of catholics a bit problematic. Man of 'faith' though which is sacrosanct for the left?

Khan himself is a man of faith. No bikini adverts for suntan oil on London transport. Modesty and cover up your shoulders darling.

They're also going to put up artwork of the casts of the faces of 850 trans people around the plinth.

In a hundred years' time they can put up a statue of an Islamic terrorist or perhaps an IRA man. Someone that's fought against the state. I just struggle to see why this should be on a plinth anywhere in Britain. Malawi, yes, I'm sure it's a wonderful place, allowed to prosper free of the yoke of colonialism.

I wonder if this statue gets defaced?

Chopping its head off would be appropriate.

Disgusting decision, the official reason why he is praised is because he wore a hat (I kid you not) which was revolutionary for that time. And yet he preached violence and encouraged it not worthy of statue.
