In 1911 three policemen were butchered by anarchists at the Siege of Sidney Street.
Known as Peter the Painter, he and his gang narrowly missed killing the government minister who attended - one Winston Spencer Churchill.
Two of the murderers were killed during the siege but Peter the Painter escaped.
[Some revisionist historians claim that he never existed or if he did, he wasn't at the scene in the first place!]
The truth about this is not the point, however. People for nigh on a hundred years have associated this name with the brutal and notorious incident.
Guess what. Tower Hamlets Council has decided to name not one but several buildings in his honour!
Only leftwing councils ever do things which are so utterly crass.
I wonder. Will The Guardian carry this story? And if they do, what is the betting that these actions will be justified in some sick manner?
