It being part of this nations heritage is gone because a mob took the law into their own hands and broke both the law and that statue whilst the police lookrd on and did nothing and now on the whim of the mob more of our cultural heritage is being discarded and there's plans for even more of it to go. I was furious when the Taliban blew up the Buddha's, isis desecrated Palmyra and I'm not keen on this vandalism at all either.
