That is true, of course. Labour was doing what socialists have done at all times. Nowadays, though, there is no excuse for their despicable statue of Churchill in a straitjacket.

Right, I googled what you said.

Its a statue of him by a mental health charity made to highlight mental illness. Churchill himself suffered from depression. The statue was up for a month, then taken down.

Actually after public complaints, it was taken down after just a few days. I can see why people complained, I can see why others thought it was a clever and intelligent way to highlight mental illness.
