    Churchill was a charismatic figure and a good public speaker. He was so at a time where the British public really needed someone to look up to. And he actually won a world war.

    He was also an unashamed racist and imperialist which only elevates him even further in the eyes of elite wetoids.

      Hey, who turned this lathe on?! Anyway, I was just wondering how long they could weekend at Bernie’s trump like they did for Churchill’s radio speeches.

      It's still so weird to listen to Churchills speeches now, because he doesn't actually sound all that good. At least to me, a dumb Dane, Churchill sounds like a fat drunk british guy you'll meet on a holiday in Spain. I can't for the life of me understand how he was considered charismatic or even good at speaking, considering that he was slurring his words a third of the time. He doesn't even sound all that posh, or maybe he is such an upperclass-twit that I just can't recognize his subtleties.
