Cometh the hour...

Because it's fifty years since his death and funeral, it seems it's open season on Winston Churchill. People are queueing up to highlight his faults and generally denigrate him.  Well, he was human, and yes, he was no saint, but as one who remembers the war I will gladly accept all his failings for the inspirational and dogged leadership he showed during those terrible years.  I have little doubt that without him we would have ended up as part of a Greater Germany.  I owe him my freedom, and that is a debt I can never fully repay.  So, say all you like about him, for me he was and still is my hero.
