NO. We do NOT "put things right" they were what they were & people should learn to live with it & celebrate all of our history. "Putting things right" is not the way. It just ends up with idiots throwing statues in the water daubing graffiti on memorials & trying to re write history. I suspect that just breeds contempt in the silent majority. Therefore, it is totally wrong in my view.
Of course we can change the way we act in the future, but that is for next generations to decide. But it is not for generations to start " putting things right" where thay cannot be.
The put things right was about actually doing something about current injustices, not past ones. My whole point is that doing more than acknowledging the wrongs done to people who have been dead for a century, and ensuring we don't repeat them is a waste of time and money that would be better spent on the living
