Colin Kemp, a semi-retired management consultant, has started a fund raising drive to build a monument to the Royal Navy's West Africa Squadron, which released more than 150,000 slaves over the course of six decades in the 19th century. The squadron spent up 55% of the navy's budget at its highest point, after Britain outlawed the slave trade in 1807. Mr Kemp has obtained the support of legendary sculptor Vincent Gray, who has crafted a statue that may be installed in Portsmouth, the home of the West African Squadron, that has been in charge of the West Africa Squadron. The proposed monument (left) depicts a slave before abolition, a naval officer, and a free slave. Mr Kemp said, "I am patriotic, and I think we have very little to apologize for." Slavery was obviously horrific, and no one in their right mind would advocate for it, but it did happen. The statue tells the tale. The United Kingdom did well, but we were the first to prevent it from happening.'

Winston Churchill (pictured) and Horatio Nelson, according to the Labour administration in Wales, the aim is to rename roads and buildings in honor of Winston Churchill (pictured) and Horatio Nelson. First Minister Mark Drakeford's 'anti-racist Wales action plan,' which promises to'review and decolonize our public spaces, has opened the possibility of moving addresses such as Caerphilly's Churchill Park and Nelson Street in Chepstow,' raising the possibility of altering addresses such as Chepstow's Churchill Park and Nelson Street. 204 "people of concern," 93 public buildings, and 442 street names were identified as part of the anti-racism initiative, with 'clarity and/or culpability' distinguishing the distinctions of certainty and/or culpability.' Nelson has 31 commemorations, there are 47 for the Duke of Wellington, and Churchill has 15.

Lord Nelson was involved with Lady Emma Hamilton while both married and using Rudhall Manor as their own love nest. Now the manor house, which dates back to the 14th century, is up for auction for £3.25 million.

There are two lakes as well as a brook. The house also has nine bedrooms, five reception rooms, five bathrooms, and a cellar. In addition, there's a gym and a self-contained studio above the garage.

CRAIG BROWN: There is a new craze in India for massive statues, the older and wider the better. A colossal sculpture of B.R.'s social reformer will be unveiled tomorrow. In Hyderabad, Ambedkar, 38 meters (125ft) high or 53 meters (174ft) including its base, will be unveiled. A helicopter would fly over it after its unveiling, showering it with flowers. In Mumbai, another monument, this time of Mr Ambedkar, is also under construction. It will be the third highest structure in the world at 137 meters (450 feet), with the Statue of Unity in Gujarat, which will scale to 240 meters (790 feet) including its huge pedestal. They all make Nelson's Column seem to be based on Polly Pocket's pencil. Nelson's statue itself, although it is 52 meters (169ft), is only about three times life-size.
