Churchill? Churchill? Who's that?
That's what today's UK school kids would ask, and all future generations.
He has been banned from English textbooks.
Yes, he has.

I corresponded with his grandson, a current member the House of Commons, who emailed me:
"Dear ...,
Thank you very much for the extremely generous and welcome support you sent me about my grandfather.
It is always a source of immense satisfaction that so many of your fellow countrymen cherish his memory and I can assure you that we, his family, are deeply grateful.
Thank you again very much.
With warm best wishes.

H elives beyond current school curriculum. Like Genghis Khan, Gandhi, Alexeander, Achilles, etc. he is beyond historical irrelevance.
Churchill is great and will always remain so. Nothing can take away from what he did during WWII.
