This reminds me of a letter Arthur Conan Doyle wrote to The Hampshire
Post (Jan. 29, 1886), commenting on critical letters published after
Thomas Carlyle's death: "As flies settle upon the least sound portion of
the meat, so critics love to dwell upon the weaker side of a great mind"./

to feast because they have found the only thing that attracts their
ordure-avid brains.

With the help of the Churchill Centre's resources, and some advice
from learned historians like those at Bletchley Park, we put
together a podcast thoroughly debunking the persistent myth that
Churchill had advanced notice of the Coventry raid and chose not
