And Black Boy Lane for no defendable reason.

That was a travesty! A park named after a loyal royal consort who brought Christmas trees to England renamed to 'honour' a terrorist and solely on the basis of his skin colour and tangential link to the area.
Topple Tambo! Bring back Bertie!

That sounds in tone and in essence what the young Conservatives were braying when they produced their "Hang Nelson Mandela" posters and badges back in the early 80s. And no doubt before them, what their grandparents might have said about the 'terrorist' suffragette Emily Davison, when she threw herself under the King's horse. Or their grandparents-grandparents' by condemning those radical Chartists that attacked the gates of Buckingham Palace with hammers, shovels and pieces of iron; done in the 'terrorist' cause of universal suffrage. There will never be a consensus on tactics - and arguments for and against on their effectiveness are perennial. But those burnishing their anti-terrorist credentials the hardest seem always the same ones most resistant to any change and advancement in society. Though they usually deny it.

I’m reading all of this with a bit of bemusement. They are not real blue plaques, they were a map showing where various well known people lived locally. It doesn’t even exist anymore.

Exactly. Any excuse for a rant...
And the original post is from 2015, a significant date.

The website on which this map was created is now defunct. From the Internet Archive, I have been able to rescue the entries I added (with the exception of some of the portrait photos), but not the maps. What was saved is added below.
Corbyn's entry wasn't made as a particular sign of respect but as a note of history.
Any other entries anyone wants to object to?
