Rex Murphy: Over in London, and this is a real test case, they want to tear down the statue of Winston Churchill. The correct and moderate response to that civic blasphemy is a vigorous, “Who in the hell do you think you are?”
If the woke mind — the present eruptions seem very much to be more a generalized woke mobilization than the ostensible protest over police — feels itself qualified to pass judgment of condemnation on Churchill, it has passed into regions of moral arrogance and transcendental righteousness truly frightening to contemplate. Who are these people who think they are the arbiters and declarers of who shall pass in their new kingdom, and who shall not? Who are they to excommunicate from proper honour one of the greatest heroes of all Western civilization?
