Yes, and if he’s less popular, why do they keep making excellent tv shows and movies about him: Robert Hardy, Albert Finney and Gary Oldman are only 3 actors who have portrayed him in heroic fashion by the Brits.
Tearing down Churchill is an attempt to also tear down conservatives.
Neville Chamberlain was a wimp and led England to war with Germany. Churchill came in and cleaned up that mess.
We had FDR get us into the war and he, too, tried a wimpy appeasement tactic with Germany.
My point wasn't that Britons hate the guy -- they voted his party back in five years later -- but that they have a more complicated view of Churchill and see both sides of the man.
They don't have the simple hero-worshiping view of Churchill in the UK that US neocons do.
