The UK government plans to impose fines and prison sentences for climbing on Winston Churchill's statue in Parliament Square as part of a new law included in the Crime and Policing Bill. Home secretary Yvette Cooper aims to respect landmark memorials like Churchill's and others, despite it not being classified as a war memorial. PM Sir Keir Starmer supports the initiative, reflecting popular sentiment respecting Churchill's legacy. The statue has faced protests, highlighting the ongoing societal debates surrounding historical figures and their monuments.
As the country comes together to celebrate VE Day, it is only right that we ensure Winston Churchill's statue is treated with the respect it deserves, along with the other sacred war memorials around our country.
Sir Winston Churchill stands at the summit of our country's greatest heroes, and has been an inspiration to every prime minister that has followed him.
