Four protesters have been found not guilty of causing criminal damage after toppling of the statue of slave trader Edward Colston in Bristol during a Black Lives Matter protest.

In closing speeches, defence barristers had argued that the Colston statue - erected in 1895 - had become inappropriate and offensive and that over the years, thousands had signed petitions to have it removed.

Liam Walker QC, representing Sage Willoughby, had told the jury their decision would reverberate around the world:

"Make no mistake members of the jury, your decision is not just going to be felt in this courtroom or this city," he said. "I urge you all to be on the right side of history."

Tom Wainwright, representing Milo Ponsford, told the court: "If you have a cancer like Colston festering in your city, you cut it out. Only once it's gone that the body can heal."

Yes! There is also a cancer festering on the planet. It is called Western civilization.
