General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

Liverpool was a greater slave trading port and prospered more than most cities from it, there are tons of streets and buildings named after the scouse merchants,indeed Liverpool was the European port most involved in slaving during the 18th century and left Bristol and London standing in the trade. Penny Lane named after the prolific trader James Penny, now more famous for the song, they won't change that and didn't when it was brought up some years ago. Martins Bank has two slave boys carved on the entrance, many of the cities buildings are heavily symbolised with slaves. What is the answer to all these historical (good or bad) symbols should they be removed just to appease some? I say no, it's history we had no dealings with what was 'acceptable' then.
