    Jesus Christ, do not ever tell an English person that you think Winston Churchill was a monster. Worst mistake of my life. You’d swear I’d shat on his mum’s grave.

        There’s been a concerted effort to paint him as a heroic figure so that the blitz can be used as a rallying point for British nationalism.

        The Welsh curriculum at least taught me about the time he sent the military in to gun down striking miners in Tonypandy. I don’t think the English education system teaches children about any of the shit he did.

        The end result is he’s almost become a secular saint for some English.
