@silondon9010 He must have disliked Hitler otherwise he'd have cosied up to Edward that abdicated. They were all for Hitler...him and Simpson.

@MrDamiansimor Churchill ran this country but with racist views didn't he?? Boris wanted to emulate Churchill. That is why I wrote that...Churchill was HIS idol.

It is the sort if thing taught at Eton I would have thought. The good stuff but gloss over the bad! Boris seemed to have racist views himself. Not good when running a country.

@jamesregiste960 Well no doubt Edward rubbed off on a young child as children are easily led. The pair of them Edward and Simpson were mostly shunned by the royal family and this was probably partly a reason why.... not just the abdication when his leanings became apparent. They both were very much for Hitler. Prince Phillip's mother helped a Jewish family. Things finally kicked in as to what Hitler was actually doing in the end. Pathe news was the only news available to the public. Even Germans had no real clue as to what was happening until much too late. Different times.

@MrDamiansimor also peoples unpleasantness is kept quiet.....otherwise they might not get to rule. Nobody sees that side of them at least at first.

@MrDamiansimor the joke is he was never going to be like Churchill anyway. In a war situation don't know how we'd have survived it with Boris. Quite scary! The cabinet around him being no better either.

@AtheistEve Well you are right. Another reason to put a bad mark against Churchill then who thought Edward would make a good king! Lucky for us the abdication went through or things would have turned out very differently. Churchill must have realised Edwards Nazi leanings when he intervened with a plot to put Edward back as King with Hitler. Just as well.
