Christopher Hitchens also hated Churchill. Something very messed up in that family - both of them seemingly at war with their father - who fought bravely in the navy during WWII.
Christopher was a leftist and "devout" atheist, but amongst us real conservatives he was something of a "most favored enemy," since he understood the threat that Islam posed to the West. Brother Peter is a total pacifist, who blames the decline of Britain, not on socialism, but on the world wars, the second of which he believes Britain should not have entered, since, in his opinion, Hitler had no designs on her.
