Don't think so, Ian. Looks to be about 10 feet tall to me.

have there been a large amount of peaceful requests to remove Marx's headstone John - I must have missed that - and there's a hell of a difference between a headstone and a statue - maybe you're confused ?

I think I see, Ian. I assume you'd support a large group of protesters led by Tommy Robinson pulling down Marx's headstone in Highgate cemetery?

The silence is deafening nowadays about the role of tribal Africa in
the sale of their its countrymen to the slave traders - even two
hundred years after this country outlawed the trade and sent the Royal Navy to enforce that decision. The captains of those vessels
didn't turn a profit though...maybe a reason why they have no statues?

Good point about the 'racist' tag Brian - I've changed it in line with your suggestion - I didn't think it sounded right either.
There's a big difference between a large gathering of protestors and a mob John - if the statue had been taken down due to the peaceful requests to do so - the many peaceful requests by the way - there would not have been the small amount of 'mob' behaviour (in relation to the size of the protest.

Very good piece Ian, though I don't believe the slave traders were racists in the same way as we are nowadays. I think they were completely unscrupulous international traders who saw Africans as an easy way of making money.

Anyway, what next...Viking memorabilia in York?

Nothing wrong with mob rule, Ian, until the mob demand something you disagree with.
