Today we've unveiled a new commission to review and improve the diversity of London’s public landmarks.

We must commemorate the achievements and diversity of all in our city – and that includes questioning which legacies are being celebrated. https://t.co/L1KTJqybGY

Protect our heritage. No Cultural Revolution. ISIS destroy history.

And I object to a 1000 capacity Mega-Mosque in Picadilly Circus.

It would destroy Leicester Sq on a Friday.

New commemorative statuary, fine, but leave our heritage alone.

Take Churchill's Statue down Sadiq and see the start of civil war…

I’d like to knock down the Roman part of London Wall that is still visible because they used slaves 👍

Tower of London will have to go

Not sure the French are to happy about Trafalgar Square and Nelsons column, there are thousands of them in London now. Do we care, NO, stop wasting London’s budget.

One assumes that same legacy (buildings/churches/schools built with the “wrong” philanthropists funding) will also be demolished and removed?

— Wes Knowles (@stalkfarm) June 9, 2020

excellent. let's put Marx, mandella and michael Jackson on the table too.

Diversity shouldn't be about removing British history in Britain. Where's the endpoint? If we remove everything we don't like about our history, do we next dismantle our castles because the Monarchy historically brutalised the people?

The giant Buddhas at Bamiyam also displeased their new overlords. The barbarians are at the gates. pic.twitter.com/AIEByzYVSe

Are you going to start book burning soon as well?

— End Lockdown Save Lives (@matthewncarter) June 9, 2020

Ahhhhh it begins. The eradication of British history.

— Louise C (@Loucoll73) June 9, 2020

You are purposely trying to remove British culture and history…

— Bristol Cyclist (@homeinbristol) June 9, 2020

And after the statutes, then the books and then those horrible white people will need to be deported back to where they came from?

— Ken Sampson (@sampson_ken) June 9, 2020

Knife crime is on the increase and you worry about statues.

— Alice (@JustaskingAlice) June 9, 2020

How about action to prevent more of this happening?https://t.co/HE30zccTXA

Nice to see he’s got his priorities right. We are facing mass unemployment, every part of society and all services damaged, much of it permanently. And Sadiq sets up a commission on statues.

— paint it black (@CollinsMikeyc) June 9, 2020

Knife Crime – Nah
Gun Crime – Nah
Gang Crime – Nah
Violent Riots – Nah
Violence against innocent Police Officers – Nah
Purge British History and Culture – Yes!

Or we could just spend the money on something which actually helps minority groups?

— Chesca (@capitalactivist) June 9, 2020

I propose all statues in London are taken down and replaced by Sadiq Khan statues
