28/04/21

New laws to protect statues from so called baying mobs

28/01/21

Tough new laws outlined by the Communities Secretary could see every statue given greater protection from "baying mobs" and road names saved from the "revisionist purge" of Labour councils.

Robert Jenrick is to change the law so that, without going through a formal planning process, historic statues, plaques, memorials or monuments cannot be removed. Mr Jenrick is also looking at ways to stop Left-wing councils from unilaterally replacing street names linked to the British Empire, without the approval of a clear majority of people living in the streets affected.
