Mr. Wigram, one of the unsung heroes of Great Britain. While we laud Mr. Churchill let us remember the many who served, supported him and supplied him with what he needed to win the day.
The man may have had his faults, but when he was right, he was so right. And I am so impressed with him standing up for what he knew was right when everyone else was so wrong. Read any of the biographies that cover his time in government during the 1930s for more information.
agreed. He was a deeply flawed politician but he was, as you say, so right on the crucial matter of war with Germany. That must have taken a lot of courage in the early days before it was politically expedient. If it wasn't for him the history of the 20th century may have been very seriously and gravely different.
It's amazing how so few members of government took Churchill's cautions seriously--and he was right in the end! And while he's considered ready for retirment, he was really just getting ready for the biggest fight of all.
Some people ask why the members of Parliament could be so short sighted and (rather) stupid. The answer is very simple. In order to be a member of Parliament, you don't have to be clever or educated, experienced or competent or even particularly honest - you just have to win a popularity contest.
I know that many People will not agree with this,but you must remember the time's the memory of the Great War was still fresh in the memory of Britain. Many felt in Britain and in America that Hitler was a bulwark against Communism in the Person of Stalin; they were wrong but many went with this course of action a few saw throught the fog of the Nazi's and thank goodness Churchill was one.
Would history be much different if Mr. Wigram did not provide Churchill with the classified information? Also, I read some where he died of an aneurysm - not by suicide.

I hate people who say bad things about the greatest man who ever lived he was a fantastic statesman the best ever I loved him he got us out of the war

He was So right on this One.
You need two parties to be able to have peace. It takes only one party to make a war.

It's a criminal act
But perhaps a necessary one
