Right, apologies for that, as I said, neither Churchill or WW2 are subjects I have much knowledge of or interest in. However, a couple of things occur to me, why has Churchill come to be seen as "the man who won us the War" (in as much as one person was responsible for doing that) when the reality appears to be different to that and also I don't see what is wrong with saying he and his party were turfed out of Government in 1945 when he clearly was and the make up of the Commons whereby the Conservatives had a majority of MPs during the war years was dramatically altered to that party's cost.
