French thugs are being prosecuted for making false charges against an aid worker who complained about their brutality. First they knocked him down onto a busy highway, then they lied to make an excuse.

Taking down statues of people who traded slaves or fought to own slaves punctures a one-sided false picture of history which was constructed for motives of bias.

People now seek to take down other statues in Britain.
