Sunday January 24th 2016 marks the anniversary of the death of
one of the most lionized leaders in the Western world: Sir Winston
Churchill.
The current British Prime Minister, David Cameron, has called Churchill “the greatest ever Prime Minister”, and Britons have recently voted him as the greatest Briton to have ever lived.
The story that British schoolbooks tell children about Churchill is of a British Bulldog, with unprecedented moral bravery and patriotism. He, who defeated the Nazis during World War II and spread civilisation to indigenous people from all corners of the globe. Historically, nothing could be further from the truth.
To
the vast majority of the world, where the sun once never set on the
British empire, Winston Churchill remains a great symbol of racist
Western imperialist tyranny, who stood on the wrong side of history.
