Afua Hirsch, a journalist for Sky News, said it is time to 'look at our own landscape' following a number of campaigns to remove similar statues in the US.

She said the monument in London's Trafalgar Square was a prime example of one which should be felled because Admiral Horatio Lord Nelson‎ defended slavery.‎ ‎

In an article for the Guardian, titled 'Toppling statues? Here's why Nelson's Column should be next', she argued that the 'colonial and pro-slavery titans of British history' should stop being 'memorialised'.‎
