quote [ The Yorkshire town where 1,400 girls have been sexually abused by Asian men is a byword for depravity – all because people wouldn’t rock the multicultural boat ]
Let’s start with a riddle. If South Yorkshire Police can mount a raid on Sir Cliff Richard’s home in pursuit of evidence linked to a single allegation of child sex abuse 30 years ago, why were South Yorkshire Police incapable of pursuing multiple allegations against multiple men who raped 1,400 children over 16 years?

I think kicking statues is odd behaviour, in large part as it is much more likely to inflict damage on the kicker than the object of his or her ire.
I believe the fancy term for this kind of irrationality is the "reification fallacy". There's a term for everything.
That said, I wholeheartedly endorse the right of people to kick statues often, with abandon and with gusto. But I reserve the right to think it a bit daft.
