the Churchill who fought the labor government of, Clement Atlee after the war tooth and nail.
The Churchill who put troops into Russia in 1919 and fought against removing them in hopes of defeating the Soviets.
The Churchill who made the "Iron Curtain" speech.
The Churchill of the liberal party after the turn of the 20th century forwarded laws most of us today would fully approve of such as child labor laws and Social Security schemes to regulate the excesses of the Victorian age which were really the excesses of the Industrial Revolution.

No, the Churchill that called to arms against the National Socialists and Communists. By the way it was Parliament that created that the welfare state there just as it was Congress over here.

The Churchill who helped found Britains welfare state? Churchill was the wartime leader...after the war the labor party (under Atlee) promised free health care for everyone....and won a sweeping parliament victory that enabled the left to implement their nationalization (coal, railways, electricity etc) and social programs including the NHS.
