The statue of slave-trading Tory MP Edward Colston has been thrown in Bristol harbour. Lots of Tories are very upset about this vandalism, but don't seem to care a jot that when slaves got sick on Colston's slave ships, they just threw those living people into the Atlantic Ocean to drown, and then claimed their "loss" on insurance.
