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.

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

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
