    What's your favourite Churchill quote? Extra points if it's something he actually said and not something a Facebook post claims he said.

      "If you can't handle me at my worst..." Oh wait, that's a fake Marylin Monroe quote, not a fake Churchill quote.

      Churchill was going through a hard season where he didn't have much support, George Bernard Shaw was premiering a new play and he sent two tickets to Churchill which read 'two tickets for the opening night, one for you and for for a friend- if you have one.'
      Churchill wrote back and said ' thank you for the tickets to your opening night. I would like to ask for another for your second night- if you have one.'

    When I, an American, learned that Churchill had been in Parliament serving under every monarch from Victoria to the then-current Elizabeth II, I was stunned. That's a really long time.

    My Mum claims her cousin once removed married a descendant of Churchill, so I presume the answer to the question in the vid title is "yes".

    Winston Churchill was born at Blenheim Palace. The palace, one of England's largest houses, was built between 1705 and 1722 and is the only non-royal, non-episcopal country house in England to hold the title of palace!

    1:57 of course he was a racist; almost all of high society in England in the early 20th century was racist. They discriminated against the Irish, Scots, Welsh, Cornish... and that's without going outside their own country, so it only stands to reason that they would discriminate against foreigners, and even stronger if they looked "funny". While we think of South Africa when we say "apartheid" (and SA belonged to the UK when Churchill was in power), many of its traits were the norm in all british colonies and settlements. And that timeframe also coincided with the auge of eugenetics. Now the question is if he was racist because that's how he was brought up or if he was racist because of his own beliefs.
