When it emerged that Jimmy Savile was a prolific rapist and sex offender I was working for a charity which had a cafe named for him.
The charity very quickly moved to rename the cafe. Many of the other facilities named after him were given new names. There wasn't a single complaint.
Yet strangely when we suggest that we remove statues and memorials to slave traders there is an outcry: we should leave them so we remember the wrongs of the past.
