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 people who did this probably have no idea who Winston Churchhill was. If anything they think he’s named after the racetrack where the Derby happens. Or happened.

Churchill was very outspoken about Muhammadans early in his military career when he was stationed in Africa to fight in the Mahdist war. He got his full of them. He wrote the book, "The River War". If you can ever get a hold of copy to read it is completely enlightening. I love the way Churchill writes, and the language used at the turn of last century is near fascinating compared to today. There is no PC crap, no worries about one group or another's sensibilities. Churchill tells it the way it is. He is currently rolling over in his grave with the great migration of Muslims to the UK.

I highly doubt any of these thugs ever read a book, let alone read Churchill. Those in the Labor Party have a hard enough time reading Dick and Jane, let alone real history.

Probably not very relevant to those whose family line wasn’t even in Britain in Churchill’s time.

If it ever happened I hope I am around to see the useless idiots who will be astonished when they are rounded up by their leaders they supported and fought for all this time and sent to thier deaths. ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Both Lenin and Stalin did the same thing. In fact, Lenin referred to them as "useful idiots" who soon became dead idiots. Stalin, he just killed them.

It was said that the final words of those Stalin had purged was: ""Just wait until Comrade Stalin hears about this."
