Don't know you'll have to ask people individually but we have a very active forum yet only a handful of contributors on here, that sort of says something.
OK I really must be done now goodnight

Upsetting people who lack empathy or any understanding of our complex history?

Don't focus on that it's not the point. It's alienating people you need to make change that you need to focus on
No good complaining that change hasn't happened when you haven't engaged the masses.
Actually I do think some changes for the good will happen this time but not to it's fullest potential.
I can tell by the replies that people must be scratching their heads thinking 'what's the problem?'
All I can say is that not everyone thinks the same as you. There's a whole wide world outside this thread, most people are good people but don't make the mistake thinking they have the same thoughts as you.
I think i'm done now if I haven't got through now I don't think I ever will

Ask the emergency services they are the ones who showed concern.
I'm not getting through am I, you need the masses on board to make change

luckily I don't think this is going to go away quietly as it impacts on so many lives day to day
I think it will lose impetus as it's not being done the right way to get Joe Average onboard.

the emergency services need to be consulted
So presumably, if the emergency services say 'No, we've already got a Massive Temple Avenue, any change would cause massive confusion', then it won't get changed.

Do you live in Ealing?
Your quote days local residents are being consulted, so if they are ok with it, what's the problem?
Edit
Maybe they could just change it to Have a Look Road with some insulation tape on the signs

No need to change the name of the road.
The emergency services needed to be consulted, as do local residents, whose property deeds will be affected by the name change.
The issue is sensitive because Europe’s biggest gurdwara, the Sri Guru Singh Sabha, which is at the heart of the Sikh community in Southall, stands on Havelock Road.
Why did they build it there if it causes offence?
Edit
To get a better idea to your question you need to ask Joe Average who do not frequent this thread
As I said BLM is a good idea but being spoiled by needless changes.

The comments about moving away to somehow else reminded me of this joke

And this song borrowed from the other thread

Agree with you here Mal, but it’s a trait of the majority. Look at the ocean plastics issue. A documentary with a turtle with a straw up its nose and the entire country goes Beserk, yet they are happy that plastic straws got banned and plastic bags are charged for, like the entire issue is now solved and it’s left to the ones that were kicking up a fuss anyway to keep on doing so without the backing of the general public.
The majority only get outraged for a week or so and then go back to the quiet life away from the issues. It suits them, and each to their own, but it means the problems never get resolved. Being fed up of it just means you want it to go away now and be forgotten about, not actually deal with the issues.
The irony being that the government relies on this type of attitude on every issue to be able to do as they please without significant uproar. The moaners will always moan about every and all protests, the protestors will campaign for most issues and try to raise awareness and the government will always so very little in terms of change because they aren’t pressed by the majority for long enough.
