No British politician has ever been so shrouded in myth as Churchill, especially in the years after his death in 1965.

BS !!! - when Churchill visited the East End of London after the Luftwaffe's night of bombing, he had the gall, while watching the people retrieve some of their belongings from the rubble, to stand on the roof of his car and shout "Britain can take it". Arroganjt, ignorant barsteward, was told by the women present what he could take and just where he could put it. I know this, because my Gran was one of those women.

All that needs to be added is something positive about fox hunting and vivisection and the fan would REALLY be hit!
I liked and respected MT, she and her government pulled the UK back from the brink.
