butlers Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 4 US ex Presidents were publicly vaccinated and encouraged others too. I ex President hid his vaccination status and undermined health officials at every turn. Johnathon Swans father was an epidemiologist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melthebell Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 You have to remember in the US the different states have different powers. It's not all down to the president, there's a lot of right wing republican governors, etc that will put conspiracy theories and vaccine hesitancy to the fore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harvey19 Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Mr. Trump is certainly a man that will be remembered for ever more. There is more interest in him than our own past Prime Ministers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little research would further your cause, he was First Lord of the Admiralty at the start of WW1 and went on to command battle troops, he also had a very interesting inter war time.

trastrick Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 (edited) Churchill was booted from office by Labour, at the end of the war, but after the Labour Government was itself defeated in 1951, Churchill came back as PM. He was hated by the Left, and in our house both my grandfathers would switch off the wireless whever he came on. When he died the country, and the whole world honored him. WIKI "Worldwide, numerous memorials have been dedicated to Churchill. His statue in Parliament Square was unveiled by his widow Clementine in 1973 and is one of only twelve in the square, all of prominent political figures, including Churchill's friend Lloyd George and his India policy nemesis Gandhi.[465] [466] Elsewhere in London, the wartime Cabinet War Rooms have been renamed the Churchill Museum and Cabinet War Rooms.[467] Churchill College, Cambridge, was established as a national memorial to Churchill. An indication of Churchill's high esteem in the UK is the result of the 2002 BBC poll, attracting 447,423 votes, in which he was voted the greatest Briton of all time, his nearest rival being Isambard Kingdom Brunel some 56,000 votes behind.[468] He is one of only eight people to be granted honorary citizenship of the United States; others include Lafayette, Raoul Wallenberg and Mother Teresa.[469] The United States Navy honoured him in 1999 by naming a new Arleigh Burke-class destroyer as the USS Winston S. Churchill.[470] Other memorials in North America include the National Churchill Museum in Fulton, Missouri, where he made the 1946 "Iron Curtain" speech; Churchill Square in central Edmonton, Alberta; and the Winston Churchill Range, a mountain range northwest of Lake Louise, also in Alberta, which was renamed after Churchill in 1956.[471] Can Donald Trump pull off such a revival?

Labour we’re very hard on the folk that fought in the war and on the home front, however what did it for them was the cinemas showing the Americans having the time of their lives.
