Asked in the Commons (11th February) by hard right Tory MP Andrew Rosindell for his views on a new taskforce set up by the London Mayor to review statues, memorials and street names, the Leader of the House Jacob Rees Mogg opined:
we should celebrate and glory in our wonderful history and in the great heroes of our nation going back over centuries.
Rees Mogg has written a very bad history book, The Victorians, but is really saying we should celebrate the slave trade and slave traders?
