I rather think the harbour master would deem that illegal whatever their intent...Group of white men 'try to save Edward Colston statue from Bristol harbour'
Pictures emerged on social media of a group of men appearing to be trying to fish the statue out.metro.co.uk
Hope they are scrap men rather than actual Colston fans ( if there is such a thing)

Myths within myths... - Bristol Radical History Group
In the light of recent moves to place a ‘corrective’ plaque on the statue of Edward Colston in the centre of Bristol and calls for it to be removed to a museum it seems the time is right to investigate the origins of this monument and the claim emblazoned on it that it was: Erected […]www.brh.org.uk
The statue was funded and erected at a time of open class warfare in Bristol. The local wealthy business elites were feeling threatened. The statue of Colston was attempt to attempt to revitalise the cult of Colston. A man who had died 1721. The elites of Bristol had uccessfully set up Colston as a "moral saint" and successful entpreuneur who used his wealth to help the poor some decades before the idea of statue. Colston day was a big event in Bristol. It was not really about Colston it was to show that these Victorian bourgeoisie were the best to run society.
The actual turnout for the local BLM rally was quite good there and wasnt at the statue

Well all humans are descended from Africa so it could apply to anyone really.Are racist scum really that thick that they assume all black people are from Africa?
Sadly, I had one at work tell me he voted for Brexit to stop Pakistanis moving here. He was deadly and almost violently serious.Are racist scum really that thick that they assume all black people are from Africa?
See post 507i would not be surprised by racists turning out round broxbourne, remembering it had a bnp councillor some years ago
Looks like a crap far-right recreation of Who's NextWith so many racists claiming today to have cleaned up the Churchill plinth it's surprising that the graffiti is still so visible.

Sadly there seem to be a lot of them from Barnsley, You don’t get much of it at all in Rotherham or Doncaster.The fact you work with someone like that is depressing. One of those silent racists who'd never dare to say it to my face.
Yeah, called Winston if the ITN bloke can be trusted. But what's really comical is that the tory MP quarter-wits who started scrubbing at the plinth were stopped by a Westminster heritage bloke rushing over to tell them they may do more harm than good...then the official cleansing team were deployed. Fucking attention seeking right-wing clowns.I thought the bloke sent from the Council to clean it was black?
is the british pakistani bit really necessary? i don't care about his passport or his forebears' nationality, i just want to know if he's doing good workSadly there seem to be a lot of them from Barnsley, You don’t get much of it at all in Rotherham or Doncaster.
The thing is the works convener, a nice British Pakistani lad from Sheffield is compiling evidence against them when I came off sick.
It is because he knows from before he became convenor from his interactions with the Barnsley brigade and their snide comments toward him. Not enough to get them disciplined but enough to make him and some of the other minorities that there may be conflict ahead.is the british pakistani bit really necessary? i don't care about his passport or his forebears' nationality, i just want to know if he's doing good work
