That's the thing though, it's like when Angela Raynor called that/those Tory MP/s scum, her doing so became the entire story. It took the narrative away, and all people were talking about was that she said a nasty word :eyeroll:

The statue does the same, it turns Wollstonecraft into "that woman with the naked statue" instead of who and what she is and achieved.
