All probably true to one degree or the other... when viewed from modern times. But you have to allow that Churchill was a product of his time, a time of empire and white European rule in most of the world. His now offensive views on race etc were common at that time. He was a complex, paradoxical persona. But his statues honour the contribution he made to winning the second world war and to say he had no part in that or to diminish his role is historical revisionism at its worst in my opinion.Herd wrote: ↑Wed Aug 23, 2017 9:15 amChurchill was a war criminal , aggressive homosexual dare i say it peadophile ,racist ,incompetent military man,feeble military strategist, and divider of Ireland ,alcoholic and bigot !
But history has latched onto his glorious Radio pieces which no doubt were good for Public Morale during WW2 and turned him into a Huge British hero for later generations but don't forget the British people were so grateful to him after the war , they voted his arse OUT of office at the first opportunity.
But don't let that ruin a story !
Statues are statues ,there's no need to remove him or anyone else !
Regarding the gay and peado rumours - that's all they are, rumours. There is zero evidence of either. Particularly the peado accusations, which were mostly part of David Icke's pathetic attention seeking horseshit.
