Churchill was undoubtedly a flawed man. For example, had Dowding not stood his ground against Churchill, there wouldn't have been a Battle of Britain, because we wouldn't have had any fighters left. Dowding's reward? The chop.
What goes around comes around, however, and Churchill himself was chopped by the British electorate after the War.
Above all, he successfully led Britain through the War and inspired courage in a nation sometimes teetering on the edge of defeat.
He was no saint and those who treat him as such are missing the point. He was a man who thrived on controversy and would have enjoyed the cut and thrust of this thread.
I don't think anyone in this thread has spoken out of turn, except the school bully element, of whom Churchill would most definitely have disapproved.
