What an astounding leader. He reminds me very much of our current president. In the beginning, no one took him seriously. In the end, his leadership kept England alive and free until the US entered the war. The sad part is that within 2 weeks of VE day, he was voted out of office because he hated socialism.

And then he was voted back in again when the Brits realized their mistake. But it was too late.
You’re welcome. Much as I was thinking, one worth the price of a ticket and the inconvenience.
Let’s pray so!
Just the little one sees in the trailer is impressive. I wouldn’t have known it was Oldman just by looking at him.
You’re welcome.
What a concept, never considering negotiations. Akin to never considering divorce when married.
Interesting, I did not know that.
Any change for the better has to start somewhere.
I think you may be confused. First of all the guy put up with not being able to use a bathroom his entire life unless it was miles away from where he was because of only black use restrooms...that had to suck and you know it. Then he was for race equality which really every conservative should be for. Why should being black cause you to not be able to be a success, to not be able to vote, to not own property and worse not be able to date the women of choice. All that was repulsive but he overcame all those obstacles and more. I am only going by the movie preview but it looks good. I don’t know of any cases except maybe a very important Brown vs. Education which every conservative agrees with that case so not sure why you think he is lefty.
Did you forget Brown vs. Education probably the most important case in history. It allowed blacks to go to school. What is wrong with that????? Please don’t tell me you were against blacks going to school.....that is not what conservatives are for.
He’ll have a tough time topping Albert Finney, in “The Gathering Storm.”
Clips of this new movie seen last night (local station or Roku channel) It looks to be one which must be seen.
“Would you stop interrupting me, while I’m interrupting you”
Remarkable man, Churchill.
You are simply wrong in most of what you say. I grew up in a segregated society and it was no where near what you describe.
So far as I know, however, there was never any actual planning.

In the 1990s I was in charge of building out schools that were the last completion of the Brown decision in Topeka, so, no, I don’t have any trouble remembering Brown. As the projects finished, I made the presentation outlining the completion and received a televised standing ovation from the Topeka School Board.
I was agreeing with your earlier comment but with a round-about reservation. Justice Marshall, on the court and earlier, was an activist legal mind and a liberal. But I granted that he was a liberal I could respect compared to the communists that Obama and Clinton have championed.
