Winston Churchill booted twice by the U.K.

Winston Churchill booted twice by the U.K.

Sir Winston Churchill was prime minister of the United Kingdom during World War Two.  A time when the Nazi’s were bombing London, the London Blitz.  Hitler thinking he could bomb the British into submission by causing their morale to sink.  Prime Minister Winston Churchill to raise the morale of the British people, conducted numerous radio speeches. 

One notable speech was on 4^th June 1940.  Referred to as “We Shall Fight on the Beaches.”

Here is that last paragraph of that speech:

 “We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our Island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this Island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God's good time, the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old.” 

Here is a link to the full speech:

May, 1945, Germany surrenders.  The war in Europe is over, victory for the Allies.  Two months later, July, 1945 a national election was held in the United Kingdom.  Winston Church was vote out of office, defeated.  He was given the boot.

In 2016 the British were kind enough to place Churchill’s image on the Five-pound currency note.

Ten years later, 2026, they gave Churchill a second boot to his bum.  His image is being removed from the Five-pound currency note, and replaced by a rodent, a beaver.
