The Patriot Post® · Another Nail in Britain's Coffin
Britain appears to be all in on erasing … Britain. The British government recently announced that Winston Churchill’s image will be erased from British currency. This giant of history is being replaced with images of wildlife.
Recent polls have found that many young Brits today either despise Churchill or don’t know who Winston Churchill is. And the people in Britain who think they know the most about Churchill are the radical Islamists who regularly desecrate statues in his honor whenever they demonstrate in favor of “Free Palestine.”
The fighting spirit and commitment to the English-speaking world that Churchill embodied has long since been erased from modern Britain. The British Left and Britain’s growing Muslim population want Churchill erased because he was an unapologetic defender of Western civilization.
In his first speech before Parliament as prime minister of a nation at war, Churchill declared:
“You ask, what is our policy? I say it is to wage war by land, sea, and air. War with all our might and with all the strength God has given us, and to wage war against a monstrous tyranny never surpassed in the dark and lamentable catalogue of human crime. That is our policy.
"You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word. It is victory. Victory at all costs. Victory in spite of all terrors. Victory, however long and hard the road may be, for without victory there is no survival.”
After the fall of France, he rallied the British people, saying:
“We shall defend our island whatever the cost may be; we shall fight on beaches, landing grounds, in fields, in streets, and on the hills. We shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for the moment believe, this island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British Fleet, will carry on the struggle until, in God’s good time, the New World (America), with all its power and might, sets forth to the liberation and rescue of the Old.”
Today, we have Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Responding to Trump’s request for naval support, Starmer whined, “While taking the necessary action to defend ourselves and our allies, we will not be drawn into the wider war.” But Britain cannot avoid the “wider war” radical Islam is waging against the West.
Sadly, Winston Churchill no longer represents today’s not-so great Britain.
