Sounds like the whole world has been dumbed down when it comes to their country’s history. Soon to be repeated?

And these are the types of people the leftist media interview because it is all part of the criminal conspiracy of information warfare they levy against the people who consume their product.

Churchill died in 1965 . I doubt he met very many people in his final years so not a lot of folks out there who did meet him.

Do we have to tell them, one more time, what is going to happen if they don't get smart, FAST?

Or at least get a tat with their name, or phone number, for after...

Judging historical figures by current standards of morality is not fair, useful, or honest. It's lamentable that France instead of the U.S. is leading the charge on this. Winston Churchill was an imperfect person but he played an important role in defending against the spread of fascism. That portion of his life is unquestionably commendable.

Assume Wellesley, Nelson, Newton statues are also on the chopping block in England, too.
