I'm the wrong person to be asking. What a great man. Apart from his part in saving turning the course of history, and freeing Europe from the Nazis he won a Nobel prize for literature, what a great writer. His humour was totally amazing. He was an accomplished artist, and a true patriot. Oops, sorry being patriotic is not PC. (What a laugh.)
Teaching history and our kids about Winston Churchill is teaching our kids to have someone worth looking up to, someone to aspire to being like.
But they think it's better to teach PC then history. And let our kids look up to footballers like Bellamy, yes, that's much better for them. Or maybe it's better to look up to some rapper telling out kids to carry guns and shoot someone just because you don't like them. Yes, that's much better.
Politians today need to be shot. Idiots

No way! Aside from saving the world from fascism and communism, he has given us some of the best quotes imaginable. He was so funny as well.
Nancy Astor "Winston are you drunk?"
Winston "Yes and you are Ugly, but I'll be sober in the morning"
"The Iron Curtain" who else would have come up with such a compelling image of the communist threat as that. He was such a genius.
The PC brigade should be answered with Churchill's own words
"Tyranny is our foe,
whatever trappings or disguise it wears,
whatever language it speaks,
be it external or internal,
we must forever be on our guard,
ever mobilised, ever vigilant,
always ready to spring at its throat"

The ignorant and the misled will deride your question. History today extends to the older members of your family so as not to cause offence with the immigrants who have no Heritage. They try to educate pupils today on PC, feely themes, lacking the initiative to portray the people who gave us freedom. Teachers today are spineless hypocrites who enforce the national curriculum through a lack of moral understanding of where they came from. They sit back, terrified of losing their jobs so they can promote the political today's sphere. Show me one teacher who can teach and say black is black?.

Too bad he's been casted down to a bulldog as an insurance mascot in England.

he was in the right place at the right time and should be remembered for being a leader at war time ...it was this country that got rid of him after the war and one term in office...
...he was quintiessentially English and he was also quintessentially elite..he careered up the political ladder to power because of contacts such as the Earl of Warwickshire...
..when you have seats of nobility and royalty Winston Churchill part of that circle..
what made him more ordinary was commanding England against the Germans...

I think it's too soon, but Alfred the Great doesn't get much time in school and the Vikings raids made for dark times, too.
Not sure what you mean by PC, but if it keeps you from getting beaten up today and your home from being blown up next year, I think Winnie would understand.

He should never be forgotten, and wont be, its History. But we dont want to upset the Asian community so time will be better spent teaching our children Urdoo (spelt incorrectly).
