First of all, kudos to Roger and Lionel; I doubt I would have watched the The King’s Speech had they not raved over it in a recent edition of Poliwood at PJTV.
That said, I would also just like to state for the record that I wasn’t drinking anything stronger than Diet Coke when I wrote this. (Spoilers galore at link for those who haven’t seen the movie.)
the idea that the king couldn’t address the nation and lead the nation during war because he had a speech impediment is ludicrous: wsc had an awful impediment and spoke and led quite ably.
in fact, wsc was the greatest man of the 20th C despite his speech impediment.
