La statua di Winston Churchill Parliament Square è stata vandalizzata con la vernice “criminale di guerra”.

I find the rawness of war criminal paint a bit too much personally, so I opted for roadkill deer as the primary colour for the living room. But each to their own.

I guess they would hate to meet his German counterpart…

They are probably referring to him starving millions of people in British India as well as letting Indian soldiers go without food.

I can’t imagine what this country would be like if he wasn’t around then

Harris was a war criminal. Churchill was a leader in a time where we needed to be lead. Would you have preferred chamberlain still? I think not, we’d all be speaking German now.

Edit: Harris was the chief of bomber command and carpet bombed multiple areas full of civilians in an attempt to demoralise the Germans. It hardly had an impact and is a shocking piece of our history.

There’s no such thing as heroes, just monsters on your side.

Was he a monster? Yes. Was he necessary? Also yes.

He was also a soldier, who faced combat directly and didn’t ask others to do what he hadn’t already done. So he’s worthy of respect for that.

Too little nuanced thinking these days.

Clueless and/or criminal, sums up the Palestine Action circlejerkers

The graffiti says “Zionist war criminal” not just “war criminal”. And that changes a lot.

I have a bit of sympathy. Putting someone up on a pedestal is a bit misleading in that it suggests this is a better person that everyone should try to emulate. But in reality no one is perfect.

It’s not the person of Churchill that should be up on the pedestal, it’s the job he did in wartime thats worth remembering. And the lesson worth being learned is that no matter your flaws, everyone can make a contribution.

At the same time he thought that supporting zionism would be strategically useful.for Britain and that arabs there were “less developed” people that needed some “civilisation”.

These nuances are hard to put across with a statue. But it might help if Churchill was depicted in some WW2 work scene instead of just standing there as if everything he did was a win.

So, the ‘radical Left’ are now the violent, anti-Semitic nut jobs who hate Winston Churchill. Have we come full circle? 

Bet its some uni students with their morals and values up their arses thinking they are morally superior.

These guys aren’t “progressives” or “leftists” these are ideologists who just like the die hard reform lot and the Maga’s, incels etc etc are in a way victims of this world we find ourselves in where you can end up with such extreme bubbles and media holes.

Any fan of history will tell you about the complicated story of Churchill and the crimes of the era he was part of, but actions like this just feed into such a negative narrative.

“Diversity Is Strength! War Is Peace!”

Modern UK State. No doubt engineered to result this way.

Winston was well capable of sending the Black and Tans into Ireland. He’s no hero

Good. He’s a piece of shit. Total racist. War criminal. Fuck him. His legacy deserves nothing but disdain.

Omg, starmer will see this and probably give another £10 million of our taxes to protect mosques.
