you do seem to have a bit a chip on your shoulder about Tory politicians. Some people vote for them you know, that's how they get elected. Still you havn't knocked Hague since Sept. If this is the worse criticism you can come up with then he must be doing ok!
There are some similarities. Both are slapheads and Hague's ability to down 14 pints of beer while working as a drayman would have impressed Winston, who was no mean drinker.
recently took grandsons to a military vehicle 40's type charity thing, saw a man dressed as Churchill , took a photo, both boys ( 8 and 12) did not have a clue, much like Hague.
I think youngsters are more likely to associate Churchill with the dog in the car insurance advert. Winston must seem as remote to them as Haig or Kitchener do to most of us.
not so remarkable, jake - who knows what Callaghan or Campbell-Bannerman or Pitt the Elder did with the other 90% of their lives? That's just how it is with national leaders, and more so during wars. The rest of us have to cope with a full 100% of our lives unremembered.
