Interesting, so presumably you have something to back that up? What % of the popular vote did fascist parties in Britain receive during the 1930s? Most support for Hitler and his policies was limited to some members of the aristocracy, newspapers like the Daily Mail and a tiny band of blackshirts. They were never a major force.

“Not revisionism in the same vein as when Europeans blame the United States for the Holocaust and Kosovo…and the Irish famine, and diarreah in Africa, and the Spanish Inquistion, and the Big Bang….”

I’ve never heard any European blame the US for these things, grow up and stop feeling sorry for yourself.

“Further proof is when Churchill was up for reelection and he lost in a landslide to Atlee, who ushered in the new socialist Britain, nationalizing 90% of private industry including health care, which is currently the worst in Europe, including eastern europe.”

90%? Don’t think so. Again it would be nice to have some evidence for your wild assertion that British healthcare is worse than Moldovan or Albanian healthcare but I doubt you have any. It could just be that you are making it up.

“Britain did not “stand alone” against the Nazis, it was Churchill who stood alone until the U.S. came on board. There is a reason why Churchill is more revered in the United States (high schools, libraries, etc. are named after him) than in the UK where he’s been placed on the trash heap of british history as a silly old fool with a “white trash” mother from Brooklyn, as one british historian phrased it.”

Yeah, nothing at all is named after Churchill in the UK, what planet are you on??

“One can expect more respect for being a Muslim radical in the UK than being a supporter of Churchill and the United States. Sad!”

Don’t be so stupid, how many muslim radicals do you see in that poll of the Greatest Britons ever in Mary’s link?

So how come he was voted the greatest Briton of all time in a nationwide poll?

Anyway, it’s good to know that Americans eventually, in the fullness of time, when it suited them and not a moment before, came to realise that he was right.

The overwhelming majority of Britons were supportive of Hitler and his plans, like most Europeans. Churchill rallied against him when the bombs started hitting London, but he was still alone in his convictions. This is a stastical historical truth.

Hardly – I’ve got twelve articles of my own published here at PJM. You should read them. In any case, I am not disagreeing with Carol Gould on this occasion.
