In some countries numerous statues are erected to honour the present leaders, and most are removed when new leaders take control.
In Britain we are less profligate. We put up just a few statues and once we have them we usually keep them. They are useful reminders of our history.
That is why Oriel College should not remove its statue of Cecil Rhodes, and why I think those who demand its removal are silly exhibitionists.
