No not at all the song is penny lane named after a street in Liverpool named penny lane name after this man ...
Penny Lane was named after 18th-century slave trader James Penny. As with many of the era's industrialists, Penny became wealthy through the international slave trade, for which the port city served as an important stopover between the African continent and America.
Ah, thankyou for the heads up and the education mate.Randy, I can assure you that pretty much everyone around that protest will have known exactly who colston was and why it was being pulled down. There has been a popular movement to have the statue removed for several years. People of Bristol know their history.
Removing of statues is wrong, it's criminal damage and they should stay there to educate the next generation on who they were and what they did, right and wrong.
If the Iraqis want it then why notDoes that apply to the statue of the late Saddam Hussein?
It's educated me certainly. In the space of a few hours.Surely this can only be a good thing. Nobody was hurt except maybe a few fish.
Everyone in Bristol knew who this person was but most others did not but they may now query why a statue to commemmorate his 'philanthropy', funded by mass murder, was still standing in 2020. Education and lnowledge is never a bad thing.

What it has got me questioning though is differences which I need help with. The statue of the slave trader I now realize the bad that comes with it. But what about places built by slaves? Should they not be treated the same? I'm not even ignorant by the way just confused.
Oh, that's alright then.White slave ownership greatly expanded the market, but Coulston and his ilk were in league with African and Arab slave traders. Slaves were largely sourced from African slave-owning societies.
Silly Lee had a wee right in the middle of GermanyOh yeah. Like you'd know.

West African and Arab slave traders were as complicit as Europeans. It’s still going on in some countries!"it wasn’t just white people that enslaved black people." Who was it then?
