  1.  @jodycarter7308  Possibly Lady Astor, but who knows. Matched by "Mr. Churchill, you are drunk." "Yes, madam, and you are ugly. But in the morning I shall be sober."

  3. People forget that there were seven bye-elections during the war, and the results were straightforward: Commonwealth Party 7. National Government, Conservative or Labour depending on the constituency, 0. Commonwealth was a Communist and Independent-Labour alliance, and the Communists foolishly thought that its steady stream of victories meant that the Revolution was at hand, somehow missing the fact that Independent Labour held them, as they held much else, with a combination of hatred and contempt. (Trotskyism was never as big a deal in Britain as elsewhere, but there is a British brand of Christian Socialism which at least rhetorically sitteth on the left hand of God.) Independent Labour walked away from Commonwealth by the time of the 1945 election, delivering not just these seven seats but a crucial several percent of the vote everywhere. None of them had any use for Churchill's imperialism, and Tory backbenchers' opposing the Beveridge Report, mandating the National Health Service, was an anchor, sinking, not anchoring, the Tory raft. Churchill's defeat was sure even before the overseas service vote was counted. The soldiers, of course, did not include a whole lot of Old Etonians...

  4. Saying "cannot be understated" when you mean "cannot be overstated," around 8:00, was an error when you said it, eight months ago. Not fixing it is another error, equally stupid.
