I don't generally get involved in debates with butchersapron, because I'm the proverbial unarmed man in the battle of wits when it comes to such things, but my own politically naive take on this is that there's a narrative: Colston's statue got taken down, and various other activities have kept the pot boiling, now this - it's keeping the issue alive and in the public eye. I guess, from an ideologically purist point of view, it's not much cop, but it's another nice slap in the face, albeit maybe not a big enough one from some points of view, for the establishment efforts to keep things the same. The statue won't last, and with any luck what goes up in the end will be something that takes the narrative on in a useful direction, but it serves as a placeholder. Maybe it can end up in the museum next to Colston's...
