Imarn Ayton, 29, a figurehead of the movement who has given speeches alongside Star Wars actor John Boyega, said a monument to anyone who has made racist comments—including the wartime PM—is offensive and belongs in a museum. But she urged campaigners to stay off the streets of London to prevent rallies exploding into a 'race war' against the far-right, who are among those trooping to the capital and other cities across the UK to defend targeted sculptures. Asked if she believes Winston Churchill statue should be removed, Ms Ayton told BBC Radio 4: 'Yes I do.

The long-oppressed people of Eastern Europe bravely pulled down their statues of Marx and Lenin, but the "enlightened" people of Western Europe want to put them up.
What's wrong with this picture?

How about we tell you, "No, pound sand".
And you get to walk away in one piece. Sound like a deal?

Some damned low life Muslim. His opinion on a great British leader like Churchill is pathetic, and of zero consequence.

Getting rid of all the Confederate statuary is just Democrats trying to erase their political history. I'm confused, though, what does Winston Churchill have to do with this???

If she wants a "black nation", she should live in Africa. Leave the statues alone.

In a debate with Stephen A. Douglas in Charleston in 1858 Lincoln stated “I am not, nor ever have been in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races.” I am not nor ever have been in favor of making voters or jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office…there is a physical difference between the white and black races which I believe will forever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality…” Lincoln may have hated slavery and helped blacks in whatever ways he could, but he never modified those views.

A small loud mouth group of tyrannical anarchists are trying to force their will on our entire society. Are we to fight back or take a knee and surrender? I now before no man or group. I only take a knee in prayer to God. Fights on you sons-a-bitches.

The day that the British people will not stand up for Winston Churchill is the day that they will have given away their country and their past proud heritage. Not even Hitler and the Nazis could get the British people to abandon Churchill.

Put them on notice that in the U.S. all statues and commemorations to LBJ need to be taken down. His use of epithets for blacks is well documented.

I know this idea is kind of old fashioned in the current climate but aren't all the people supposed to have a say in this at some point? We used to decide things based on majorities of voters electing officials to reflect our wishes but it appears bullying feckless politicians is much more expeditious for minorities than having to convince the rest of us.

Remember, Muslims believe that ALL statues should be removed. It is against Muslim doctrine to erect statues.

I am beginning to realize what it is all about. No nation states, no history, no monuments, no common language, no common culture - just one big world order where everyone is neutered out and evolving into just big tower of babel.

Ironic isn't it. Sir Winston Churchill was the greatest Anti-Fascist of all times - he stood up to Hitler when others in his own party and country wanted to kneel. His example helped Great Britain stand alone against Nazi tyranny - he was and is a hero in my eyes.

They boarded the statue up and fortified it from what tonight’s BBC said. The police certainly won’t throw the book at hooligans for even threatening it so its sadly the best they will do. The education system has done a big rewrite of history in the UK just like here. Many younger people under 35 have no conception of who WC was and what he did for the world really.

#8, if Lincoln really said that then he was more ignorant than I thought...and very wrong. There is really no such thing as race. It is a man-made construct created by sociologists and anthropologists as a way to study humans and their nature. Race was used as a way of categorizing
cultural, linguistic and inherited family traits. The differences observed among peoples originally resulted from people's limited ability to travel for thousands of years. However, genetically, we are basically all the same.
The differences among us developed based on where were live. For example, physical traits developed as a way of coping and surviving in various climates. Melonin protects the skin from the sun. Extra thick eye fold developed to protect the eyes from snow blindness. But all these characteristics are irrelevant, especially in this day and age as people travel and adopt other cultures, languages and even physical characteristics by mixing with others from other parts of the world.
We need to get back to Martin Luther King's wise words and judge people by the content of their character--NOT by the color of their skin or any other irrelevant physical characteristics! We are NOT a racist country or people. We cannot allow these manipulating leftists get away with lying about who we are and trying rewrite history. We need to stand up against the lies and not fall into their trap by turning against people of color (even when thinking it is necessary for self-defense--it's not). The left wants a race war. They want to instill whites with guilt, and if that doesn't work, they want to "prove" we are racist if we don't capitulate. It's not necessary to fall for either.
Stand up for what is right for all people regardless of color and let the world know we are one. It is not us vs. them. We are one people. We are all Americans, and we are not giving in to outrageous demands either. Our country was founded on equality (no other country has been) and while we had done some bad things in the past, we worked hard to correct those things and have always strived to be better.
