Churchill was a racist prick, he can fuck right off... well I guess he was honest about that at least.

So because Churchill held certain views you find distasteful, it is proper to dismiss his ability and his achievements? Don't be silly and childish. Ceasar kept slaves, you know, and Garibaldi routinely had people executed for disagreeing with him. Can they 'fuck right off' too?

He certainly believed in the British Empire, and there was no shame in that, and despised its enemies. He was also rather eccentric, a drunk, a wastrel, the worst First Lord of the Admiralty in history, an incredibly brave man who escaped capture and travelled from Africa through war-torn Europe to fight again. He was also the man that led the greatest fight for our freedom we have ever had to face, inspired millions and was probably, and deservedly, Britain's best Prime Minister.
You, Charlie, are a coddled middle-class student who (I suspect) has yet to achieve anything. Not to suggest that this in any way deprives you of your right to an opinion, but whatever Churchill's views, he is a hundred times the man you or I.
