    I think most of his ilk in both main parties are the same and always have been. Some people are better than others at covering their tracks both at local and national level.

    There’s a canny few of them I’d like to see fall, retrospectively, the red bricks saga was diabolical and all the extra tarmac for speed bumps but none for potholes - scumbags

    Didn’t he complain that the statue of Major General Sir Henry Havelock, a son of Sunderland, standing in Trafalgar Square, should be taken down because he was no longer relevant?
    Edit: No it wasn’t it was Ken Livingstone. Note to self, instead of being morally outraged and venting said outrage, research who the outrage should be vented at first.

    Yes it was a crying shame that we ever had Churchill as Prime Minister. We would have really prospered with the jackboot of the Natzis on our neck.

    Did more harm to the Labour Party than the Tories. Self serving hypocrite who was Manna From Heaven for the Right Wing press and the Tories.

    He was just as much a murderer as Hitler.
    Yes Chamberlain wasn't a leader. But if you think Churchill was a hero you really need to look at the consequences he erm wouldn't of faced under Nazi rule.
    He sipped champagne and toked on expensive cigars knowing full well he would be privileged whatever the outcome of war.
    If you're going to be a Fanboy please do some historical research first mate :emoticon-0148-yes:

    I might regret this, but who should have been in charge of the country during WW2?

    I won’t name him him but one of his friends/helpers/security was from the ABA (boxing). Also had his fingers in their trough. All into horses. That small group of people took a lot of cash out of the system.

    Hitler was a lunatic, so to fight fire with fire, we elected a lunatic.

    Both abhorrent human beings.

    Both should be listed as war criminals.

    I never said he should or shouldn't of been prime minister at the time. I merely posted my opinion of him.

    I certainly don't hero worship him that's for sure. Most of the people actually fighting in the war deserve a hell of a lot more credit.
