🤣 All heads of states are "puppets"
Don't go all conspiracy whack on me, he was practically the embodiment of Britain at the time 😅

Even with Europe crushed and Nazi Germany at the door, allies scarce, out gunned and out numbered, cities leveled due to bombing, children moved to rural areas separated from their families, rationing, conscription, disease and lack of money nearly all of his speeches managed to rally the populace and keep them unified in a time of dire need.

He might have been a drunk and a bit of an arsehole sometimes... But he was the drunken arsehole Britain so needed at the time.

Sort:  

I love his speech "We shall fight on the beaches" it's very somber yet he manages to set in steel what Britain was doing and was willing to do to remain independent and free.

And... I'm originally from Lancashire 😉

im afraid im not a fan of churchill , he prolonged the war cost millions of lives and destroyed the british empire , he was a stooge of the bankers , he was bailed out when bankrupt by the " focus " group a zionist organisation and used to ferment war , he didnt give those speeches they were recited by Norman Shelley's voice and used to broadcast some of the most important words in modern British history - including 'We shall fight them on the beaches'. and very probably as is today he didnt write them either ,
