“We have nothing to lose but our chains”
So this is what the youth of today get up to when they’re bored? Here is footage of a group of student protesters invading the Winston Churchill cafe in London So what do you think,Is this a productive use of their time? |

Its another stunt by Afua Hirsch. She's been on GMB and SKY quite few times and is a bit of an idiot.

The way to convince people that you're right is, apparently, by chanting like a cult . Someone should tell them that all they're doing is tuning people out.

Also, Churchill was an aristocrat born in 1874. Of course he was a bit racist.

They need more classes! Uni is a rip off! One day a week my son did in his final year! One day a week!
On a more serious note I don't really like the idea of policing the past. Times were different and you can't hold people of a different time to the same standards really. Churchill was a great leader when this country needed him. That's enough really.

I think it's meant to be a mind-trick to pray on the naive. If they can accomplish their goal of appearing "objective" enough to make you question your own reality, then they've accomplished their goal... |

When I was in my program, I couldn't wait to get out and do actual stuff with what we were studying. I do continuing education stuff on my own now with self-study and online courses. Like a good friend told me "Sometimes college gets in the way of your education" when it comes to your actual craft. I would've preferred to have done a fast track program than to spend 6 months learning the super basic stuff and stressing about how to pay tuition, when I can literally pick up a new language in a few weeks or learn to write code on a new platform... it's completely unnecessary.

He was yes, were it not for allied soldiers and a global effort the was would have been lost... none of his monologues deserve absolution.
He is touted as a great and conquering hero, he was just another colonialist.

It doesn't matter whether he was racist or not. He was the leader the UK needed during WWII, and gave the odd speech which is remembered to this day. If people spend their time sitting down and discussing how "problematic" he was,and then arranging protests relating to him, they need to reevaluate their lives.

All hail the Moyesiah

There was hardly a politician of the early 20th century who wouldn't be judged as racist by today's standards but to say that Churchill had no impact on the outcome of the war is nonsense
