Why didn't Churchill revolt? Well.......
He was a Tory and born into the nobility, part of an illustrious family, as well as being the Prime Minister who led the UK to victory against the Nazis. That probably made him feel that *he* was running the country, not the Queen -- as in fact he was from 1940 to 1945 (and again a few years later). He was also a respected historian and writer - he won a Nobel for Literature (and he was a rubbish artist, rather like Prince Charles and Adolf Hitler). So he was a powerful, lauded and much respected member of the establishment, and revolt was probably not much on his mind. (But if it was I suppose he could have subverted the system from within...) I think the most revolutionary he got was making witty remarks. None of which actually makes him wrong about democracy. You can say something that is true and still fail to act on it (I do every time I use the car...) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
