By your logic, we should should be all over Germany for what happened 80 years ago.
And don't forget, it was the past slavery etc that resulted to some extent on the immigration to the UK that led to the births in the UK of the current generation who might otherwise, one way or another, still be in Africa.
Think.
We can agree there. It may be that the anarchy on the streets that BLM has brought to parts of the UK will result in institutionalised change to memorials of that type. But these anarchists want Churchill branded as a racist. It goes too far and you should not be justifying their actions.

The TV screen backs you up ONLY if it shows ALL coverage of every event. It's not doing so, so it doesn't
The past perhaps is faded to you but not to others. My central point can vary wherever i want it to take me, if the discussion moves to that of statues being pulled down being acceptable then i can debate that also. I'm multi faceted, just as you are
Here's the scoop, Churchill had proclivity to make racist statements. Of that there's no argument. If that's usurped by his actions against Nazi Germany ? Personally I would say it was, BUT i can listen to the viewpoint of those who would suggest it weighs differently.
Again, remind me anywhere where i have justified their actions?
I'll ask you the same as I have asked others. What are you fearful of?
Perhaps unlike others you'll answer.
