Ah yes Winston Churchill

I suppose to some Winston Churchill is a fine example of a tolerant, democratic man. But to many others he is the same man that wanted to maintain the British empire at all costs, enslaving and exploiting millions of peoples across continents and in the name of what? Those poor enslaved people certainly didnt prosper under British rule. All they got in return were concentration camps in South Africa, and massacres in India. But at least they got social development in return. And as for Muslims, Winston Churchill appears to have no qualms of about their employment in fighting and dying for the Queen.

All civilizations, sooner or later, fall.
