    REMOVE THEM ALL. NONE OF THESE COLONISERS SHOULD OCCUPY PLACES OF PROMINENCE AND HONOUR IN OUR SPACES!

    As an alternative - Lest we forget - in order to teach the historical events (so we can avoid repeating the injustices) - place them in a central non-prominent place with full text and context of their origins, and the deeds and misdeeds of the person(s) in whose image the statue is made.
