Rejected petition Winston Churchill Statue on the White Cliffs of Dover

More details

Winston Churchill was an inspirational wartime leader who helped keep this country safe at a time of threatened invasion during the Battle of Britain.
There should be a large statue of him, visible from the English Channel, constructed on the White Cliffs of Dover as a lasting memorial to this and also the successful and heroic evacuation of allied soldiers from Dunkirk in 1940.
