What he did to our Polish allies at the end of the war wasn't the act of an honourable man, he put pragmatism ahead of what was right. His actions during the war also involved a great deal of the same pragmatism. I accept that the end result merited statues and other tributes but I don't see him as a heroic figure.

Poles so disgusted, they always refer to fighting for 'King George'

Peter, I had a Polish partner for 19 years, and I learnt a lot about how their country was carved up to appease the Russians, how Poles were taken to Siberian Labour camps, and how many died there. She wrote a book based on her mother's experiences as a Sibiriak, and her families journey to England as refugees

Anyone who enough people campaign for.and raise Money to fund one.. I am happy for there to be statues to those who made the world a better place, the selfless, the great writers, painters,musicians, campaigners for the rights of those who had none. Let those leaders who died in just wars be remembered on appropriate memorials alongside the men they led reflecting the respect we offer regardless of rank. Dead is dead be you General or Private,they do not need monumental statuary.
Technically those tens of thousands of Poles sent to the Siberian camps were slaves and that arose directly from the actions of two leaders appeasing Joe Stalin. I prefer to think that Churchill had very little sway in the discussions but he was involved. But as I said, leave the statue but give accurate information alongside it so it becomes a tool for education.
better not ask what Aussies thought of him after the first world war. But we can certainly commend his brave struggle against women's suffrage - contrary to natural law and the practice of civilized states ... those women who discharge their duty to the state viz marrying and giving birth to children are adequately represented by their husbands ...
