London statue of Winston Churchill vandalized on D-Day amid protests

A statue of Britain's most renowned leader Winston Churchill has been vandalized in London as protesters turned out to speak against racism.

The vandalism came on the anniversary of D-Day when allied forces -- partially led by Churchill -- stormed the beaches of Normandy during World War II.

Footage online showed the bottom of the statue bearing neon green graffiti that read "ACAB," which stands for "all cops are b-------."

While it's unclear who the perpetrator was, many blamed the protesters and called out the police for not doing more to protect the statue. Police eventually surrounded the statue in an apparent attempt to protect it from further defacement in Parliament Square, where thousands of protesters had gathered, according to The Sun.

The goal is the elimination of Western Civilization, which many ignorant Whites are all too happy to help with.

So— were these antiFA Communists (who would politically be opposed to the very anti-Communist, better than FDR and Truman- Churchill).... or were they the more centrist socialists who would, back in 1940’s be supporters of Mosley’s Blackshirts.. and, against Churchill. It’s one of the two..

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oswald_Mosley

And, BOTH are socialists just a matter of degree. And they are ALL, ALL idiots... on D-Day. Making a “statement”. Effing MORONS. Come down against the United States you a@@holes and then learn that, were it not for the U.S. YOU would be speaking German, not French, German. But then... Commie or Socialist you’d like to BE in control— and quite incapable of it.

Most of these protestors are white guilt and many are women. Notice the age is those who grew up in the high school and middle school of obama.

It is not just in America. There has been protesting in Britain too. Yup, it’s the fall of western civilization. NPR just called for people to rid their libraries of white authors. To hell with them.

It’s a demonstration of who these people are. They’re identifying themselves.

They are the same ones that were defeated by the forces that landed on D-Day. So it stands to reason that they would deface and demonstrate a inherent scorn for these monuments. They represent the beating that they will see again soon if they’re not careful.

And if they are careful they could win this time.

It might not have anything to do with communism. Churchill was a white guy. That might be reason enough to vandalize his statue.

The rich irony, of course, is that if it weren’t for Churchill, those protesters would have been killed by Nazi Germany’s London garrison.
