Reminds me of the time my idiot neighbour complained pigeons are stupid because they built a nest out of a few twigs on his balcony. The nest was unsafe! he complained. I had to break it to him that in their native land, pigeons are cliff dwelling and build the same instinctive nest, safe in a sheltered hollow on a cliff, wherever they are today. He thought they should up their game. Small wonder the earth is dying.

I wish they could take the riders off controversial statues and leave beautiful statues of horses. They could have plaques saying things like: ‘Traveler faithfully carried his rider through many battles and on forced marches. b 1858- d 1880’ That I could live with.
