      @Sparky If only you had studied history properly, you would know that Sir Michael, CBE (Lord of Coldhaven-on-the-Marsh), was awarded many medals and some very delicious biscuits for his part in leadership speeches. He taught Lionel Logue a thing or two. Controlled Britain from 1936-55. Alas, he was also responsible for George Formby's singing voice which, ultimately, led to his downfall.

      Wouldn't it be ... informative ... if Churchill's media trainer ever met up, and compared notes, with Hitler's or Mussolini's. Actually the thought of an Italian RND could be a good one.

      Yes back then the politicians were adults when the training was in it's infancy, nowadays the training has come to full maturity and we are now aware of how fond the media is of child performers.

    I met Churchill when I was six, I had a friend who's mum was The Headmistress of Roedean School. I was invited to her birthday party. Apparently, her Nanny had worked for his fsmily, So he was down for a visit. He smelt of very good scotch, cigars and old man. His wife was fun, she played party games with us.
