I think it's a bit inaccurate to say The Guardian called for it to be pulled down. They published an opinion piece from someone else calling for it to be pulled down, this wasn't an editorial, and they often have columns from people who aren't expressing the views of the paper. David Cameron and Daniel Hannan have written pieces before.

Still they know it's clickbait.

As has been expressed above we shouldn't compare senior figures from the Confederacy to Nelson. It's not the same thing. Nelson's column wasn't put up in celebration of Nelson's position on slavery, or for fighting to maintain slavery, or for being a white supremacist. It's same stupid argument people were making comparing George Washington to Robert Lee because the former had slaves.

Also while we're at it it's not as if Nelson's column is the same as some cheap crap mass produced in the 1920s and put outside some generic court house.

She isn't a liberal it seems but left wing. Left wing and liberal are not necessarily the same thing. In fact communists/socialists and really left wing people hate liberals.
