I think all statues should go, not in this way obvs but as society becomes more enlightened people are either impressed or offended. The Irish in me knows Churchill was a twaat for what he did but he did lead the UK's war effort. Also I'd warrant most people are under the illusion Britain won the war, they did, but with the Soviet Union, USA, The Commonwealth and many other European Allies.
The Sov's removed all Stalin statues when reality downed and he was actually a twaat but Lenin's remain. He had a certain altruism as he legalised homosexuality and promoted equality etc, but like Hitler with the Autobahns, vegetarianism, and animal rights, should he have statues for that bit but not the war and Jew thing?
Gonna get flamed for this but the way public personae are now promoted they have to be 100% squeaky clean and nobody is. Dirt everywhere and they get away with for a while as we've seen in history and currently with Trump and Johnson, they'll get there's too eventually...
