Replace the statues of slavers with heroes of the Special Operations Executive
There has been much controversy over the removal of statues depicting slave traders and accusations of 'erasing history'. If we replace them with the men and women of the Special Operations Executive, we can celebrate national heroes who deserve remembrance.
To create a taskforce to complete research and raise funds for the erection of these statues.
