8. If there's one thing I cannot tolerate

It's BULLSHIT revisionist history; pretentious people who were NOT there at the time, sitting in their 21st century comfort, taking 20/20 hind site to a level unsupportable and unsubstantiated by the facts on the ground during the time in question.

I doubt that the writer of this loathsome garbage was crouched in the bomb shelters during the daily air raids, with other terrified
Brits, dodging the German Luftwaffe while they blew the shit out of London and the countryside, which is still pock-marked with bomb craters.

Winston Churchill united a nation, brought a ray of hope to people in a time of terrifying brutality and savagery unprecedented in modern history by a mad man who remorselessly murdered millions of Jews, Roma Gypsies, Jehovah's Witness, Gays, disabled people and any political enemy, opponent or outspoken critic, and their entire families.

My parents are British, my grandparents lived through WWII, huddled in the darkness during blackouts, walked the streets of London during the Blitz, found hope in the words of Churchill and I will be damned if I will dignify this kind of historical arrogance.
