Boris defends Winston Churchill’s statue

Boris Johnson has used his article in The Daily Telegraph, Monday to defend the statue of Winston Churchill from being removed.
Boris Johnson who described Churchill as his hero has vowed to “fight to his last breath” any attempt to remove the statue.
The Prime Minister called Churchill “one of the country’s greatest ever leaders” and said it was the “height of lunacy” to accuse him of racism.
The statue is located in Parliament Square, which some protesters want pulled down, and warned against attempts to “photoshop” Britain’s cultural landscape.
“I will resist with every breath in my body any attempt to remove that statue from Parliament Square, and the sooner his protective shielding comes off the better,” he wrote.
We need to address the present, not attempt to rewrite the past
“It is not just that it is wrong to destroy public property by violence.
