What the petition asks
we are sick and tied of the uk pulled monument down due the slave trade. I agree it wrong, this is History like it or not. We must see this, so it will never happen again. Will they be taking down the pyramids in Egypt or all the monument in Romo no.
BORIS need to acted know before our lovely country will be no more.
