At one time an opera singer? It appears that this great British leader had a talent for singing and often performed with the London Symphony…when he wasn’t leading his country against Hitler.

NO apparently only you know this. I lived in England, studied on Churchill and visited his house many times. Did you have any references to this or do you just make things up as you go along?

Sure? This is how Sir Winston escaped from the Boers? Dressed as an opera singer?
But in all fairness here are a few notes:
Winston S. Churchill
by Sir Martin Gilbert, Randolph S Churchill, M.P. - 1988 -
... who noted in his diary: I hummed something out of The Mikado; the pm's eyes brightened, he began to sing refrain after refrain from that opera
Sir Winston, in his youth, had a slight “lisp” and likely sang in therapy sessions, speech classes. He loved opera and music and attend such frequently at home and whist traveling the world as in Moscow at the ballets and opera.
Then, he likely sang at HARROW but the Royal Military College at Sandhurst?
Sounds more like J Edgar Hoover, FBI director

Winston was a great many things but i doubt that a singer was one of them. one of his passions was however painting he was also a writer, columnist, builder [during a break in his political career he did some building on an estate of his that was payed with the profit from one of his books] and a great deal more. never heard about him singing tho.

Wow. That would be interesting. I didn't know that. Too bad there were no clips of him singing, though.

He enjoyed it. It didn't hurt anyone. What is the issue with that? We all could learn to enjoy hobbies.
