The Brits' treatment of Churchill after the war typifies the "Tommy Atkins" mentality many Europeans seem to have toward their military leaders. They're heroes when they're needed, but embarrassments when the shooting stops.

I've visited Churchill's grave, and it's a pretty poor monument to a man who almost single-handedly saved the British Empire during some of its darkest days.

Let's just say it was NOT their finest hour ...

I have been to Churchills’ grave, too. It is in a small churchyard, no parking area, very understated. I think he would have liked that and may have actually requested it. My dad fought in WW2 and I remember watching Churchill’s funeral, broadcast on American TV, with Dad. Reverence was the order of the day. I think the Man of the 20th Century was Churchill. I also think the Woman of the 20th Century was Margaret Thatcher. Both Brits. I WISH Britons and Americans would remember their (Churchill and Thatcher) resolve and find our spines again. We MUST turn back the tide that has been destroying both of our once great countries for 60 years.

To say nothing about their fellow travelers, the Mercun Peepul.

Since the coming of the Messiah, the Leftists have been empowered to vent their hatred of soldiers, and their vengeance knows no limits.

Going back to the mid-80's my wife and I visited Blenheim Palace in the Cotswolds where Churchill was born. Later, we visited Churchill's grave in a family plot next to a very old rustic stone church just a few miles away from Blenheim. Many people are under the impression Churchill was buried at Westminister. Considering Churchill's place in history his grave-site is quite modest.
