I don't think you'll find many students who would approve of vandalising the Chruchill statue either. That's the more radical element making themselves known along with a few fellow travellers who get a bit intoxicated by the energy of the protest. The concept of Churchill being a racist will get wider acceptance but not attacking the statue.

The problem with what you've said is that this is the thin edge of the wedge.

No platforming is a very dangerous affront because it prevents impressionable students from hearing other views that what the lefty hierarchy want them to hear. Such zealots often make the top of the Students Union tree or other levers of student power.

The scale of damage done by demonstrators trying to eradicate our history goes beyond the scale of the problem.

We have spent decades bending over backwards for the minorities and it's always the ethnic Brits who are the baddies, the institutionalist racists. The assault on our culture is real.
