I have an endless admiration of Churchill, extraordinary man. I have the book made up from all the existing copies of the correspondence between Churchill and his mother, a book I am so pleased to have in my possession. The book about Churchill between the wars, I think the title might be “The Wilderness Years” is to be recommended as well it displays his seemingly infinite care and concern for Britain and the British. Shame some of Britains current politicians were not infected with the same character. Though I there are those among them who would you believe they were, but I that an affectation rather than anything genuine and sincere.

@@vincentbugalia3858 I imagine a leader of Churchills abilities was able to acknowledge and taken responsibility for the Gallipoli debacle, an aspect of character that precludes many of those that these days try to pass themselves off as leaders when all they are are managers. Management is a skill that anyone can learn leadership is a quality, innate, you are born with it or not it is not something that can be learned, their are aspects of it that preclude most, many managers from having it. They involve the responsibility already mentioned, a genuine leader will never shirk it. Another is loyalty and perhaps surprisingly it is loyalty to self first, the insistence that you retain your own identity and not mould yourself to others expectations. In that Churchill was one of the greats.

I read and listened to the first two, and the quotes were so inaccurate, I'm not going to watch the rest of the video. Churchill didn't relate the insults in the form of an anecdote; he simply responded to the speaker's remarks. Lady Astor said, "Why Mister Churchill! I believe you're drunk." Churchill replied, "Yes, madam, I'm quite drunk; and you are quite ugly, but tomorrow I'll be sober." He didn't spoil the joke with the redundant remark that she would still be ugly. As for the poison joke, Churchill said (also to Lady Astor), "If you were my wife, I should drink it." The use of the word "should" made the insult funnier.
