Far-left activist, grifter, and chair of the Lambeth, UK “Independent” police advisory board Lorraine Jones revealed to the world on live television that she didn’t quite know who Winston Churchill is, or what he did.
Churchill, who served two non-consecutive terms as prime minister, led Britain in a war against actual Nazissomething other world leaders were hesitant to do at the time, including his predecessor Neville Chamberlain, who sat back and watched as the krauts stormed throughout Europe.
The exchange, which was broadcasted live on the air via Channel 4 News, featured news presenter Cathy Newman asking Jones about her opinion on the “far-right” counter-protests who were seen protecting the Churchill statue.
Jones said that the counter-protesters were not guarding the Churchill statue,” and were instead acting in “horrifying and totally unacceptable ways.”
I think that what needs to happen, which I know has already started, we need to look at the people that are being placed on a high pedestal in this society, the reasons why they are, and honestly and rightfully [decide] if they are supposed to be removed,” said Jones.
I think that what needs to happen, she continued, which I know has already started, we need to look at the people that are being placed on a high pedestal in this society, the reasons why they are, and honestly and rightfully [decide] if they are supposed to be removed.
When asked by Newman if the Churchill statue should be removed, Jones provided an answer that made clear she had no idea what or who she was talking about.
Ive heard many arguments on both sides; some say that hes a racist some say that hes a hero, Jones stated. I havent personally met him, but what I would say is that that question of whether he should remain should be put to the community.
To be clear, Churchill died in 1965, though Newman did not go on to provide that information to Jones.
When asked by Newman what she thought about Churchill, Jones said: “Im going to be honest, I havent done a lot of history work with Churchill, but if I was to do that and it will be based on my findings, Jones admitted.
The transaction is the latest in a heavy slew of intense hatred of statues, regardless of whether or not they’re “racist.”
In Boston, over 7,000 people have signed a petition to take down a statue of Abraham Lincoln, who freed the slaves in 1865.
Bostonians also decided to deface the statue of the Shaw 54th Regiment Memorial, a monument dedicated to an all-black regiment who fought against the South in the Civil War.
Additionally, statues of Abigail Adams, a memorial to victims of 9/11, a monument to Soldiers and Sailors, and a statue of George Washington were also vandalized.
The irrational hatred of statues isnt confined to just London and Boston, though. In Philadelphia, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier was vandalized by radical leftists, who again deemed the monument to be racist.
Philadelphias own mayor, Jim Kenney,went out of his way to condemn those who protected statues from being torn down, namely the Christopher Columbus statue, quickly angering Phillys entire Italian population.
It certainly takes a college education to be so stupid.
