Bertie, you clearly have studied Sir Winston, in that you read

Yeah, he was a fun guy. Just ask the antipodeans he got slaughtered
at Gallipoli,

Actually, Kitchener was the one who had ordered the attack on
Gallipoli, and the one who was most responsible for arguing against an
evacuation once the attack bogged down. Yes, Churchill did fight
against an evacuation too, but by that time the decision was an army
one, not navy. For that matter, Kitchener was the one who sent the
navy on its own to attack the Dardanelles. And the local commanders,
Carden and then de Robeck, who showed remarkable lack of backbone. But
there were many hands involved in creation of such a disaster.

No doubt about it, Kitchener would have been hung out these days for his
various roles in history.

Who did what is covered in painstaking detail in David Fromkin's book
"A Peace to End All Peace - The fall of the Ottoman Empire and the
creation of the modern Middle East"

All that said, Churchill's WWI actions do appear to have been those of
an amoral pompous ass. But I think that made him one with the crowd in
power at the time - he didn't appear to be any different in these
characteristics than many of his peers.


Oh yeah. I agree. They were a pack of Imperialist hyenas. Not sure if
the word "peers" is one I'd use. not because it;s innacurate, but
because it tends to gloss over the savagery of those creeps.

Mrs. Parker, IIRC.

Personally, I've alwas believed that if you cannot discuss someone's
heritage, parentage and destination without resorting to obscenity,
profanity or invective, you have a poor command of your native language.

Using your definition, poor command of the language is demonstrated
here often enough, isn't it?

Which one was it that went something like
"He's a moron studying hard to be a halfwit...and failing the course"?

and

"He think's he's a wit; but half right is better than totally wrong."

Woman: "YOu sir are drunk"
Churchill "**** you bitch"

Aide: "Sir, if I might suggest an alternative course of action"
Churchill "You want my boot up your arse, poof?"


King George: It's inspiring to see the troops so hearty"
Churchill "What the **** would you know, poncey boi?"


An inspiring leader indeed.

"madam tomorrow morning I will be sober, you will still be ugly."

"drink? I've got more out of the bottle than it has ever got out of

Dresden, Hugh Dowding, etc etc....

You must be a seniour to have only done a half-assed job! Stealth Pilot

whacking his pee-pee:

I wonder if Churchill ever spent a whole day repeating everything
anyone
said to him, using a sarcastic, falsetto tone. That would have been
hilarious.


Hmmm, well he did die about the time Kenneth Williams became popular....
