Why Winston should be revered

OF COURSE, Winston Churchill was not perfect. Of course he did bad and wrong things and made mistakes. Only a fool would pretend otherwise. But his supreme achievement, steadfastly refusing to make a shameful peace with Hitler when so many Tories wished to do so, rises far above all those errors. It is because he stands as a gigantic pillar of Parliament, patriotism and tradition that the enemies of Britain know they must destroy him if they are to abolish this country (as they wish to do). That is why he is now being attacked, as he was at a Cambridge debate last week, and why his statue is vandalised.

As long as he is still revered, it will be much harder for this country to be turned into the miserable People’s Republic which the Blairites hope for. Defend him and his memory.
