Churchill.






      So Churchill's statue is to be protected in case someone takes umbrage, and defaces it in some way, well what would you expect the white racist, imperialists of our establishment to do? Churchill was a true follower of their faith, arrogant, racists and little regard for humanity. His arrogance was backed up by his ineptitude, probably the best display of these qualities was his Gallipoli disaster, a pointless, sacrifice of thousands of troops lives based on his total ignorance of the situation. His catalogue of brutal and inhumane treatment of those who dared to stand in the way of the British Empire's exploitation of native people's is difficult to surpass.

    The recent flap over Winston Churchill — with Labour politician John McDonnell calling Britain’s most revered prime minister a “villain” and prompting a rebuke from the latter’s grandson — will astonish many Indians. That’s not because the label itself is a misnomer, but because McDonnell was exercised by the death of one Welsh miner in 1910. In fact, Churchill has the blood of millions on his hands whom the British prefer to forget.  

From Jacobin, the Real Winston Churchill:
    ----In addition to being motivated by a profoundly antisemitic “good Jew-bad Jew” dichotomy, the colonial underpinnings of Churchill’s support for Zionism were later made clear when he addressed the Palestine Royal Commission on the subject of Palestinian self-determination. Resorting to bestiary for his imagery, he compared self-rule to the dog running its own manger, a right he did not acknowledge. “I do not admit,” he went on, “that a great wrong has been done to the Red Indians of America, or the black people of Australia . . . by the fact that a stronger race, a higher grade race . . . has come in and taken its place.”
       As an imperial tactician, Churchill recommended fighting the insurgency in British Mandate Iraq by gassing them. Indeed, he had already pioneered such deadly weapons in Russia, against the Bolsheviks. It is important to recognize that, as with his support for aerial combat, he tended to justify this as a humane, high-tech alternative to more brutal methods. “I am strongly in favor of using poisoned gas against uncivilized tribes,” he wrote, before explaining: “The moral effect should be so good that the loss of life should be reduced to a minimum.”------
      So why wouldn't our white racist imperialist, lords and masters wish to protect one of their heroes, he is truly one of them.
