"I do not agree that the dog in a manger has the final right to the manger even though he may have lain there for a very long time. I do not admit that right. I do not admit for instance, that a great wrong has been done to the Red Indians of America or the black people of Australia. I do not admit that a wrong has been done to these people by the fact that a stronger race, a higher-grade race, a more worldly wise race to put it that way, has come in and taken their place."

And I can say whatever I want aboot your really, really, bad leader.
He seems to be rather stupid too. And well telling the truth is not one of his strong sides. ....
Anyway Churchill was a good politician, and he was funny. Of course he was not perfect, and the more socialist parts of society nowadays probably don't like him too much.

A fanatic is one who can't change his mind and won't change the subject.
A joke is a very serious thing.
All great things are simple, and many can be expressed in single words: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope.
An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile - hoping it will eat him last.
Broadly speaking, the short words are the best, and the old words best of all.
History will be kind to me for I intend to write it.
I like pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals.
Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing ever happened.
Personally I'm always ready to learn, although I do not always like being taught.
There are a terrible lot of lies going around the world, and the worst of it is half of them are true.
true^
A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on.
You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word. It is victory. Victory at all costs - Victory in spite of all terrors - Victory, however long and hard the road may be, for without victory there is no survival."
The British nation is unique in this respect. They are the only people who like to be told how bad things are, who like to be told the worst.
Never give in--never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.
I would say to the House, as I said to those who have joined this Government: 'I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears, and sweat."
I am prepared to meet my Maker. Whether my Maker is prepared for the great ordeal of meeting me is another matter.
We shall show mercy, but we shall not ask for it.
How the heck did Chruchill ever get a good reputation of character for someone to think it is radical to challenge thaT?
The whole POIBT is that Churchill was not a very nice man; arrogant, power-hungry, dismissive of liberalism, a hater of Ghandi, and a man whose ambition outstripped the ability of his organisations to protect the lives of the people he sent to their deaths at Gallipoli and Norway.
But DESPITE that, he becomes the greatest UK leader of the 20th century (and then, of course, gets dumped as soon as the war is done because he was useless for anything else). He might have been many bad things, but he was always right about Hitler, from the start.
