Well then, perhaps vanity in a certain measure is not half as bad as people say, when it serves the right purpose at the right time. A shy and humble man, too, I daresay, is at times just the kind whom we need at our side, or even leading us, though not at others. Life and the world would be terrible if we all had the same propensities.

This video's headline description contains a grsammatical omission: "... broadcast on 24 January 1965, the day the former prime minister aged 90. " (omitted: died) This of course was the day Churchill died, on a Sunday morning. He turned 90 the previous November.
And now the woke who owe their liberty to him despise him. He was a man of his time, a Victorian yes flawed, however who isn't? He stood alone when others told him it was a lost cause. He stood against the darkness. We all owe him.
All this would have been unnecessary without the idiocy of 1914. The British are also at fault for being unable to accept Germany‘s economic ascendancy under Bismarck. The Kaiser was Queen Victoria‘s grandson, and never could imagine a war with England. Still, Lord Mountbatten‘s beautiful English intonations speak of a certain greatness and resolve that Churchill exemplified in the dire situation of 1941.
Churchill was determined to retain the British Empire. It was not to be. My best childhood friend was the son of our British Vice-Consul. After the war, my mother told me that at a party to pack packages for Britain, the Consul was going on and on about the Empire. People there just rolled their eyes....
Ah yes the gay lord. I always find it strange that people want to praise Sir Winston Churchill. The claim that he played a major part in defeating Germany is slightly untrue. It was the Russian Army who really defeated Germany. It was at a huge cost 21 million Russians dead. Lest we forget Churchill and Roosevelt handed half of Europe to Russia after the defeat of Germany. Churchill was of Empire and could not perceive the sun setting one last time on what he considered glorious days. He was a racist as was Mountbatten they believed the British Empire was just and fair. As it fell apart they became antiques from another age . Does anyone now care what they had to say? The truth is nobody cares about a war that was fought almost 100 years ago.
"It was the Russian Army who really defeated Germany." No, they did not. Sorry, comrade! If it wasn't for the Western Allies, the Germans and Russians would STILL be battling it out today! For one thing, the Soviets contributed absolutely NOTHING to the strategic air bombing campaign which devastated German industry. For another, the Soviets were on the receiving end of enormous material aid given to it by the United States. For still another thing, President Roosevelt held the Western forces back so the Soviets could grab off more of Europe. Berlin's fall would have been far easier if the American and British forces would have been allowed to take it.
Historical gold. Thanks for sharing.
Never seen this before - how marvellous to see!
Thank you ITN for this Newsreel of Lord Mountbatten .Great historical piece 🙌👏👏

This is the uncle that was so close to Prince Philip's childhood & to which Prince Charles look up for guidance during his growling up years.
....That explains a lot.
Amazing Historical history
Thanks
I thought Churchill could not stand him because of India.
Winston called him a murderer for the way he handled the partition. Some 40000 people died because he wanted to end it fast and go home.
I remember watching his funeral. A state funeral.
Not a state funeral but a naval funeral, albeit similar.
@@lestermay5878 It was a state funeral, the first to be held for a non royal for thirty years. The naval part was his being transported on the river.

If it can be truly said that any one man ever saved the world, it was Churchill.
Vain and unconventional but a charismatic leader who was a naval officer through and through. Nelson was vain and unconventional too ...

One can forgive Lord Mountbatten's private excesses.
