Tradescanthia Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I choose to work. Not to whine, nor "fight", just work. People give me money for so doing. It works out fine for all concerned. You are just showing your ignorance putting up posts like this. Employ that 'grey matter', read a little history, economics, even novels by writers like Dickens, Orwell and Huxley...............then comment.

janie48 Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Well, Churchill was a thug wasn't he? He wasn't a great leader either. Then why is he so respected? Whatever failings he had,you can't deny he was the best leader that Britain could have wished for in the time of WW2. Have you ever listened to any recordings of his speeches of the time Mecky? they were inspiring and good for morale,and just what the nation needed at a time of great misery.

I think most people only know what Churchill did during the war,and overlook his many defects.Can you tell me for example his role in the Liberal cabinet,and how he behaved during the 1926 General Strike?

Happ Hazzard Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 World War 2 was just slightly more important than the 1926 General Strike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnvqsos Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 World War 2 was just slightly more important than the 1926 General Strike. Not for the many people who died between 1926 and 1939.What did Churchill do in the 1926 strike? PS no peeping in google Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squiggs Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Who gives a crap about the socialist workers parts? It's a joke party anyway. The People's Front of Judea are having a field day ---------- Post added 01-02-2013 at 18:53 ---------- Who gives a crap about workers' rights, a reduced working week, holiday pay, equal pay and ending workplace discrimination? I do But I don't need to be subservient to a vanguard party elite to queue equally for bread Nor do I wish to be shot like a partridge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have heard him spoken of in unfavourable terms many times,even by elderly relatives of mine(family members being somewhat divided in that respect) but in spite of his defects i don't recall any criticisms being made about his role as a leader in the war. Politics aside,having read about what he was like as a person in details read from a few biographies, i regard him with admiration,though i'm aware he was far from a saint,i certainly don't believe he was anything as bad as the SWP like to portray him.

If Churchill was admired at the time,can you explain why the Labour Party scorched him and the Tories in the 1945 election? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
