Brexit Party Chairman Richard Tice has called for the protective hoarding around the Winston Churchill monument in London to be removed, despite fears of violence and potential vandalism at this weekend's protests.
Addressing UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson and London Mayor Sadiq Khan directly, Tice said "the woke warriors seem now to be winning over the United Kingdom," adding that "the greatest Briton" had now "disappeared."

London Mayor Sadiq Khan said he had acted with the Met Police to secure several London landmarks, including the Cenotaph in Whitehall, which commemorates everyone who died during all the wars in which British citizens have fought. Khan has asked the public to remain at home over the weekend.
Conservative MPs Andrew Bridgen and Conor Burns decried the move, and Bridgen even called for both Khan and Scotland Yard Commissioner Cressida Dick to resign.
