..I don't know, this all seems like a misplaced focus to me..I know what he symbolises but I doubt he's the only one who has been a dubious patron of the university...ok, the only one with a statue erected for him but it's only a piece of stone and won't change anything whether it's there or not...how much money would it cost to take it down from a Grade II listed building, quite a bit I would imagine and who will fund it, the university...just seems silly in a world of limited money that some is used to destroy something, no matter what it is when it could be used to build instead...to build some lives..so many people who don't even have a roof to live under, let alone a university education so why not use that money, wherever it's coming from to do something that would change something, would make a difference, rather than to destroy..


..I mean I do understand the offence and why the students are offended but they have the privilege of what they have and of being there so what their offence compared to using some funds that would have been used on this, to make real differences to people who have nothing of what they have and a completely different future to them, in fact no future at all...I just can't see the sense in money being used to destroy when there is so much need in the world...
