Winston Churchill on the new UK 5 pound note -- ROTFL
Posted: April 26th, 2013, 12:34 pm
You Brits do realize that Churchill, more than any one person, destroyed Britain and the British Empire in a totally useless war, don't you?
Yes, that's right -- Britain had NO compelling reason to destroy Germany. Hitler, in fact, tried to make peace with Britain, even after Britain and France had declared war on Germany. But Churchill kept egging Hitler on, until at the slightest pretext, he attacked Germany, which forced Hitler to return fire.
BTW, you know that "blood, toils, tears, and sweat" speech? Churchill never delivered it. That's right -- an actor impersonating Churchill's voice delivered it for him. It seems Churchill, a known alcoholic, was TOO DRUNK to deliver the speech himself.
You Brits really ought to get a clue someday.

Britain's war leader Sir Winston Churchill will appear on the next £5 note, to be issued in 2016, the Bank of England has announced.
He will become the first politician of the modern era to feature on a banknote, and in replacing Elizabeth Fry, he will leave the Queen the only woman on a UK note.
