"Even though large tracts of Europe and many old and famous States have fallen or may fall into the grip of the Gestapo and all the odious apparatus of Nazi rule, we shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until in God's good time, the new world, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old."

Good at speeches maybe but good politician, absolutely not IMO.
He was a nut, but when he was at the right place at the right time, it was REALLY the right place and the right time.
He was an inspirational orator but so was Hitler ... now HE was a nut B4B and makes Churchill look like a Sunday School teacher.
We will fight them in the streets. We will fight them on the beaches. We will fight them in the basement. We will fight them over there in the corner. We will fight them every alternating tuesday...
