Subject: 'Absurd and shameful': Winston Churchill statue sealed in steel ahead of protests Sat Jun 13, 2020 12:17 am
A statue of Winston Churchill has been sealed inside a protective steel barrier ahead of a massive London race protest which Prime Minister Boris Johnson says has been "hijacked" by extremists.
Construction workers boarded up the heritage-listed 3.5-metre tall bronze monument to the former prime minister overnight amid fears it could be torn down or become a flashpoint for clashes between rival protesters this weekend.
