  • I thought all of this was dead and buried, but unfortunately it's reared its ugly head again. Labour have given the green light for activist councils to rename streets with, you guessed it, links to slavery and the Empire.

The article discusses the controversy surrounding Labour's policy on allowing local councils to rename roads, which has been criticized by Nana Akua, a columnist for the Daily Mail. Akua argues that the decision to rename streets, such as those named after historical figures like Sir Francis Drake, to appease what she describes as a "woke minority," is misguided. She believes this move by Labour, led by Sir Keir Starmer, reflects a broader trend of pandering to minority groups at the expense of historical recognition and public sentiment. Akua points out that these changes are not only costly but also erase history, suggesting that the focus should instead be on more pressing issues like crime, education, and healthcare. She also mentions the example of a street in Bristol renamed from Colston Street to Pero's Bridge, highlighting the contention around such decisions.
