And if the question of whether Churchill’s statue should remain is put to the community, as she says, and comes back overwhelmingly as “Yes”, will she and her friends accept that and move on?

She realizes he's dead, right? The present tense is throwing me off.
It's possible to be personally a racist yet still civically a hero. It's not a stretch to say that if Hitler had prevailed, the plight of POC, LGBT, Jews, Catholics, the disabled, and many others across Europe would have been much worse in the past 75 years.

This is worth a watch. Unsurprisingly this movement led by extremists driven by resentment who want to tear down society aren't exactly giving a fair reading of history. The sick part is place like the BBC who are more than capable to push back are unwilling. -
A good lesson on how to turn Democrat contributers into Republican voters. This is outside the McCloskey residence today (Couple that pulled weapons on the peaceful protesters that pulled a gate down to get on to private property and threaten to burn their house down)

Well she's not alone in not having met him. I haven't either.
Who is this person, and who is she purporting to represent?
Lorraine Jones
Community Advisor to Lambeth PoliceThoroughly and deservedly lampooned

They have 'Right To Roam' laws there.

Interesting watch

This is going to end well.

Its hard to give a damn about this death. Her brain was poisoned by social justice ideology, they blocked a motorway to spread their message and someone drove right through them. Despite the early reporting of a'far right attack' it turns out the driver was black.

Interesting that the ethnicity of the driver wasn't reported.
And the first thing the protesters do? Call the cops

Reminded me of the Ku Klux Klan.

Sadly yes. And a number of the deaths and injuries from these protest zones. 'Play stupid games win stupid prizes' come to mind. It's all "abolish the police!" until someone is seriously hurt or in danger and then its "quick get the cops!". These people get their way then the carnage we've seen so far will be the tip of the iceberg and it won't be their nice middle class white neighbourhoods that will be feeling the brunt of it (well not for a while) and it certainly won't be the privately secured neighbourhoods of the politicians and celebrities championing this bullshit that will feel the consequences. It's not like there is going to be any real recognition of the carnage in these poor neighbourhoods, their lives don't mean a damn in the world of the virtue signaller.
Sucks for her (well 'non-binary' so no idea what the pronoun is) family, maybe some of them tried to stop her heading down this path.

7.5 billion on Earth. I'm saving my empathy for adults that don't play on freeways at night.

@Rembrandt @antipodean I'm not defending her actions, but the day we stop caring about people dying is a pretty fucking sad day. Do we care about a drug addict dying any more? An alcoholic? Someone with a criminal record?

According to WEF, 150,000 people die per day around the world. I don't give them a second's thought and I don't believe anyone else does either.

Honest.
