[Peter Pedant]

I put 'British Prime Ministers' in to Google search (all, not images) Across the top of the screen is photos or illustrations of all the prime ministers, including Winston Churchill. He is 13th from the left of the row, 3rd from the right without scrolling.

[aelmpvw]

yes barry, as stated on the thread , he's been reinstated

[shoota]

If you google 'Winston Churchill images' you get a million pics of him...

[ToraToraTora]

yes barry he's just been restored, if you did that earlier today winnie's picture was missing.

I fear you're scraping the bottom of the barrel trying to find things to get angry about.

It would appear that the Answerbank branch of the Conservative party is just as willing to pile onto a conspiracy theory as those they constantly deride and despise.

[Ellipsis]

> Ellipsis, yes, that's how it looks

That's how it looked to a conspiracy theorist. To the more rational, it looked like exactly what Google claimed ... a technical issue.

How does the conspiracy go now that the image is restored ... a victory for common sense over the Google right-on brigade? Or do you now accept it was a technical issue?

[brainiac]

Pleased to say he hasn't disappeared from the two fivers in my pocket

[diddlydo]

Talk about a storm in a non-existent teacup.......typical of the hard-right.

[vulcan42]

How can you have a storm in a non-existent teacup?

It’s all very shocking, but can anyone explain why Google would omit a picture of Churchill on purpose.
Everyone knows what he looks like, he is a very famous UK Prime Minister, so what would Google gain by not displaying his picture?
What would anyone gain?
Google have said it was a very temporary glitch. When I searched Churchill I got the picture.

Google are not the holders of history, so they are not trying to erase Churchill from history.
So you lot seeing a conspiracy, please explain what the conspiracy is please.
