It was recently suggested to me that Hastings Banda should be commerated with a blue plaque in Kensal Green. The reason is that he was a GP in this area during the 1950s. I have been told that he lived in either Bramston Road or Ridley Road.
However, as you can see from the Wikipedia link, Hastings Banda was not an entirely attractive figure. Does this matter in terms of having a blue plaque, or should we just acknowledge that whatever his faults he is a significant historical figure?
