@39:00. To say 'it must be innate; he definitely didn't get it from his parents" is surely pretty much incoherent. Genes?!? I'm surprised Holland didn't take the opportunity for some friendly ribbing.
Interestingly, bearing in mind his early prognostications, as an adult Churchill was convinced that he would die young, and kept thinking it until well after WW2. Which is odd...
Don’t you think the descriptions of Churchill’s physical ‘bravery’ is a recklessness which resonates with the emotional neglect of him by his parents!? Not ‘tiggerish’ - rather despairing and desperate ☹️
@@yingyang1008 There is a endless passion for crapping on our great figures in the West. It’s about the only thing the West expends any energy on these days. All figures are complex and good and bad, So you saying this complete spoilt barbarian buffoon bully boy ran through the gauntlet of all British society and succeeded? This utter buffoon did all that? This utter buffoon was spot on regarding the Nazis and everyone else felt like giving up?! I’m just so tired of the sticking of the knife in to our own body and giving it the full twist. Churchill did more before breakfast than most of us will do our whole lives.
The only sense in which it can be said England was saved by Churchill, was from the perspective of sub continentals who wanted a sex preserve where they could have their way with teenage English girls without any consequences. Churchill saved England for them, the 380,000 young British men he sent to their death bought this right for Pakistani men not yet born, that they may force themselves upon the unborn great granddaughters of England in 1939. Just imagine, England could still be English, and speaking German, if Churchill had not done all this. How horrible would that be?
Tom & Dom: Never in the field of podcasting was so much owed by so many to so few.
How many like me have ordered My Early Life? I can't wait to read it. Marvelous job guys!
Thank you for this podcast, and the book recommendation, now on my reading list.
Just found this podcast and subscribed yesterday, and I'm a big Churchill fan!
Sounds like George Patton the way that he knew what he was going to do his whole life that is remarkable😮😮
Andrew Roberts' Walking With Destiny is a tremendous biography of Churchill.

Churchill was an interesting and flawed character. His raging alcoholism certainly contributed to his unpleasant characteristics.
I wonder what Churchill would make of his great grandson selling his soul and the nation down the river with his management of Serco ?
I’ve just started listening so don’t know what’s ahead, but guessing he will be dumped on.
as he should be
