Great old documentary started yesterday, had some great old politicians commenting on this like Lord Boothby and Lord Hailsham, pity they're not around now to lead the country.

Clown Boris would have sent ships to rescue survivors at Dunkirk 2 weeks late
Hancock would hail the success of seeing our brave soldiers wiped out by claiming we had the capacity to rescue them and sending them ferry tickets in the post for grayling ferry service |

Pretty amazing that he 1st became an MP in 1900, yet didn't become PM until 1940, was still PM his 2nd stint in 1955, what a career he had, Home Secretary, Lord of the Admiralty, Chancellor and fought on the Western Front in 1917, long before he became PM, what a life and what a man.

@foxy -- not the Foreign Secretary. Churchill's line was: tell the Lord Privy Seal I am sealed in the privy and can only deal with one .... at a time.
More on Churchill's famous quotes in this American interview with his biographer, erm, Boris Johnson. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/london-mayor-boris-johnson-winston-churchill-legacy-180953538/ |
