  I always understood his opposition to be mainly about the fact they were targeting “the wrong people” and might eventually land on British shores.

  Fighting nazis is obviously a good thing, I just wasn’t aware people thought he was uniquely good because of that.

  Again, I am not British, so my understanding of his motivations are filtered by the pond between us.

    If he wasn’t pm during the war then he probably be another name nobody remembers in modern times.

    He’s remembered because of the war. I’m sure wherever you’re from has similar figures in history, if not war ones, other significant changes which impacted people’s lives and becomes a figure head of that change. Whether it be good or bad.

      Totally understandable response. Definitely the case where I’m from too.

      I also appreciate that it’s coming from the most British username I’ve seen recently.
