WHY are we allowing Left-wing headbangers to trash our history? Winston Churchill is currently being celebrated by cinema audiences worldwide, thanks to Gary Oldman’s awardwinning portrayal in Darkest Hour.

Yet, back home, for some lunatics the Great Man is a pariah. A cafe in Finsbury Park, North London, which features a mural of Churchill and Battle of Britain Spitfires, has been repeatedly vandalised. The walls have been sprayed with disgusting slogans including ‘scum’, ‘warmonger’ and ‘imperialist’.

Now the owners have removed the mural, after campaigners accused them of glorifying ‘colonialism’.

The cafe should have been given a round-the-clock police guard and the vandals hunted down remorselessly.

Elsewhere, London Transport took down a board marking the anniversary of the Battle of Rorke’s Drift in 1879, after it was attacked on social media by pop singer Lily Allen, who accused it of — you guessed — celebrating ‘colonialism’.

The board, at Dollis Hill Tube station, is regularly rewritten to commemorate a day in history. Rorke’s Drift was immortalised in the film Zulu, starring Michael Caine, Stanley Baker and Dave the barman from Minder.

A small, 150-strong British garrison fought off 4,000 Zulu warriors. Eleven soldiers were awarded the Victoria Cross. I wonder what these heroes would have made of the craven, spineless society Britain has become.

Why the hell should anyone give in to a tiny gang of Left-wing thugs or take any notice of a dopey bird like Lily Allen?

Fix bayonets!
