"Why can't Britain handle the truth about Winston Churchill?"
quote | Nothing, it seems, can be allowed to tarnish the national myth – as I found when hosting a Cambridge debate about his murkier side |
|
quote | A baleful silence attends one of the most talked-about figures in British history. You may enthuse endlessly about Winston Churchill “single-handedly” defeating Hitler. But mention his views on race or his colonial policies, and you’ll be instantly drowned in ferocious and orchestrated vitriol. |

Priyamvada Gopal is Professor of Postcolonial Studies in the Faculty of English at the University of Cambridge, where she is a Fellow of--wait for it--Churchill College.
She is the author of "Insurgent Empire: Anticolonial Resistance and British Dissent"
Gopal opines about the "cult" of Winston Churchill and about the pushback she has experienced in her efforts to create a more objective national discourse about the man who has been so often credited with saving modern civilization from the scourge of Nazism.

There are assertions in this Op/Ed-style column about Churchill that I'd not ever "bumped into" before--and they're quite remarkable. I've long been aware that Churchill had "skeletons in his closet" about his race-based ideas and attitudes.
"You're gonna need a bigger closet!"

He saved, sponsored and propagated communism for the globalists who bought him out of his family debt so he would do their bidding in the mid century.
Their goal is now within reach as it has found it's way into and in control of all major Western governments.
Racism is the bogeyman. A leftist tool used to blanket groups of people who are targeted for subjugation and control by globalists.
