One quarter of Britons think Winston Churchill never existed

quote:
Never, in the field of human ignorance, have so many known so little about famous Britons.

A quarter of the population think that Winston Churchill never actually existed, a survey suggests.

What do you mean Biggles wasn't a real person? I've heard so many stories of his flying adventures!

That's the Daily Mail facism in oven gloves as a lot of us call it over here in Blighty. Scroll through the articles and look at the comments especially if it involves an immigrant for a good laugh.

It wouldn't actually suprise me one bit if people from the new chav generation know nothing of the UK's history. Very sad but I blaim a lot it on the modern British culture where breeding like flies is a way to own a house etc. It's on the same comparison as people in the states who don't know where their capital is.

^ +1 with this kid.

It saddens me that people have no idea of history.
Should be castrated all of them, it can't get better.
lol

USA's generally worse, but I fail to gather how you can say he never existed

"Hey, you remember how Winston Churchill did _________?"

"No I don't because he never was!"

*crosses arms and turns the other way*

I agree, the Daily Mail is a load of pish, but the Sun is far worse IMO...typical that a paper that prints so much shite is the best selling paper in the UK.

For example, the Sun ran a story with the headline 'BARBER REFUSES TO CUT HAIR OF ASIAN GUY'...the story then went on to play the racism card, with an interview from the guy who's hair the barber refused to cut. Then to my disbelief, in one very small paragraph at the end, a statement from the barber in questionL

"I refused to cut the young man's hair due to the fact that the hair on an asian person's head grows differently than a caucasian, and requires special training to be able to cut it properly."

Typical story from a bunch of cocksuckers who made an racial issue where none existed. They're a shower of sensationalist bastards who'd do anything to sell papers.

The History channel said he did.

That and my nanna thought he was the best thing since Kings and Queens where invented, think she even had a framed picture of him in the house

utter bollocks
the survey was made by UKTV Gold, so the sample is hardly going to be fucking subjective of the UK populus
and it's been printed by the Daily Mail. Gypsies are eating our pets.

It's the big three newspapers really. The Mail's middle England old school conservative 'Oh my goodness look at the disgraceful bastard his just parked on the double yellow lines opposite the village green, call Phelps and get a Lynch mob!' The Sun's only good for sport but half their journalists are shit the rest is all subhuman pop culture trash. The Mirrors the miserable Northern bastard newspaper bitter and stuck in the Thatcher era.

The reason why this country has gone up the swanny is people cannot raise their kids properly. Especially when most morons are more bothered about the latest big brother romance or which twat celebrities getting married in Heat, then what is actually happening to their country in the news.

Precisely, you know this country is going to the shitter when teenage girls cite Jordan as someone they envy and aspire to be.
Ever read Jon Gaunt's column in the Sun? That cocksucker's answer to every problem in Britain seems to be 'bring back the death penalty'.

it would work, starting with himself. then the chavs. then the royal family, the government, the shadow government and cockneys. and most of the north east, north west, birmingham, south east & south west. And wales of course. Then we could abolish it & live happily!

Chances are you have.

It really winds me up. If you go around a lot of estates in this country the younger generations who live there think the government and tax payer own them a living. It's all down to one thing and it's welfare, they should allow people 18 months max job allowance and the ones pulling sickies should be checked by doctors and investigated to see if they are actually ill.

I agree with the Chavs. However doing that Ian would leave us with the midlands, loads of industrial cities and town's which are as grim as fuck to be raised in, nearly as depressing as half the shitpits you get up North.

Chances are I haven't. I rarely go to Curry houses but when I do I make sure your the best ones in town with above average price.

So how's it going roasting possom's on the barbie then?
