Protestors in London covered former Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill’s statue in graffiti during the weekend protests in London.
Despite the majority of protests in London being peaceful, there were some cases of violence as people threw bottles and fireworks at police officers. Thousands of people attended the Black Lives Matter protests, which were sparked globally by the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis, US.
Some protestors in England’s capital decided to deface the statue of Winston Churchill by spray painting ‘was a racist’ across the base under his surname ‘Churchill.’
One of the demonstrators was heard saying: ‘Tagged up Churchill as a racist on the statue of Churchill because he is a confirmed racist. He didn’t fight the Nazis for the Commonwealth or for anything else or for any personal freedoms. He fought the Nazis purely to protect the Commonwealth against the invasion by foreign forces.
‘He didn’t do it for black people or people of colour. He did it purely for colonialism. People will be angry but at the end of the day, I’m angry that for many years we’ve been oppressed. You can’t enslave people, have the largest colonial empire ever in history and they try and come like ”yeah let’s be peaceful” it don’t work like that.’
The graffiti has since been cleaned off of the monument.

Hard to believe the half-wittery of numpties like this. “He didn’t fight the Nazis for people of colour.” Of course he didn’t you idiot, he fought them for Britain ie anyone who was living in Britain, whatever colour they were, because he was the Prime Minister. Also, the guy was contradicting himself all over the place: ‘he didn’t fight the nazis for the commonwealth… he fought the nazis to protect the Commonwealth from invasion.” What? And ‘yeah, let’s be peaceful, it don’t work like that’ – yes, it does work like that, that is exactly how it should work. Picking fights is as he wants to do is just brainless thuggery and just stokes racial division – great idea, exactly what we need right now! I really worry for the world when it is filled with ignorant, self-important twits like this.
I am so fed up with these idiots, also the idiot Khan in London. What a disaster for the country. Who on earth voted for that idiot in the first place to be a mayor? What is next? Pulling down the pyramids because they were built by slaves? Why can’t people see what really is going on and who are behind all of this? Look into the Cabal in case you still don’t know.
