The Daily Mail’s getting all excited about a ‘cultural revolution’ after yet another – the second – statue of a slave owner was removed from its plinth.

Two? Already?

Columnist Sarah Vine is particularly vexed, as you’ll see from today’s front page.

And here are our 6 favourite things people said about it.

History has a rightful place in books and museums. Slave traders should not be held in such high esteem where we have to look up at them as if they were gods. Its not our future it’s theirs, the young, and I applaud them for trying to erase the bullshit so they see the truth. pic.twitter.com/i1kaOJFUyi

Would it be possible to have Sarah Vine removed from her plinth at the Daily Mail and placed in museum?

Future generations of schoolchildren can then gape in awe at how a mainstream media organisation once allowed her to infect her insidious views on the population. pic.twitter.com/nA82mV7NXA

TODAY: If Poundshop Lady Macbeth Sarah Vine is so concerned about forgetting our colonial past, perhaps she could visit the museum pictured behind the toppled statue where there is a permanent exhibit on… <checks notes> …slavery. https://t.co/SFqBbN0GZZ #TomorrowsPapersToday pic.twitter.com/PrA7os1Xx7

So it turns out it doesn't matter how they're taken down. They just want their statues of slave traders. pic.twitter.com/Sz5GBcVkFB

Sarah Vine makes a valid point here. I say the Daily Mail commissions a waxworks museum of murderous imperialists. A sort of Madame Tussauds of Cunts. Which will feature a private masturbation room when it all gets too much for her pic.twitter.com/abFZomtA5C
