The cult of Churchill as a little Englander standing up to Europe has no basis in history

The cult of Churchill on the American as well as the British right might be redeemed if it carried forward the anti-fascism of the wartime coalition. But there is no guarantee that support for Churchill quarantines a politician against the heirs of fascism. Steve Bannon boasted how he had advised Johnson on how to undermine Theresa May’s premiership. Johnson said he had met Bannon but never “colluded” with him.

The trouble is the Tories are expecting him to turn up.

Guardian more like the Betrayer twisting facts to suit it's agenda . Does not dare to allow Public comment on it's articles ., nuff said .

“It was at the head of a vast empire, able to command millions of black and brown troops written out of history by the right”. Err no, that’s the easy way out. to. Ignoring the black and brown troops is ingrained in the psyche of the British.

Read this, it’s factual, not biased Leftist untruth.

I find your article juvenile, ahistorical and cynical and your label of “little Englander” is symbolic prejudice. Your article is opinion. Did you know, Attlee was panicked about how many Windrush were still on benefits, 10 years after arrival. He said “they don’t want to work”.

Johnson's is an egotistical slogan boy, his vaneer of association with Sir Winston Churchill is sickening.

History will show us that Cohen was one of the useful idiots who thought deconstructing the reputation of a national hero would win the argument.

Shown as the gangster he was. Always willing to fight to the last Australian.

Brexit - one of the city’s best short trades, everything in its place, dog eat dog nihilism, Lebdev in the lords as Baron Bullshit of Hampton and Siberia. Brexit - the breakfast of champions, a tale told by an idiot.

It's unfortunatelly all downhill for the UK, GDP to drop massively, inflation to run into double digits, interest rates to quadruple as prices go upwards by 20%. Unemployment could reach double digits. The UK will break up into 4 new Nuclear armed countries, it's a total disaster

Is that like fantasy football? I’ll trade you Churchill for FDR...

Just remember. Tuere was a time when UK saved Europe. Breath now! Slowly!

Invoking the White Supremacist Churchill might not be the best idea in this time and age... May he satay deeply buried and Not RIP

'Churchill the Warmonger' was that? Its not a good look... “Everything tends towards catastrophe & collapse. I am interested, geared-up & happy….” (Churchill, 1914)

Why would anyone even want to go to the UK after Brexit?

Brilliant piece.

Winston the man was much more of a git than the legend suggests 🇬🇧

Churchill fought a problem inflicted upon us. Brexit is entirely self-inflicted. Fantasy over.

WHY in the world is England at all concerned about the infamous EU, when, it is only a combination of hyper anemic balance sheets with floundering leadership and a pension for working as little as possible? Stick with the USA, NOT, the European Onion, which stinks to high heaven

Nick Cohen is the personification of grim reality

Nothing grim about it. We become an independent country again! Time for celebration! 🎉🎉🎉

I don't believe in anything in my life but I admire Huge Personalities and I would die to follow them. Leaders. Intelligent. Brave. Daring. Cunning. Drastic. Dynamic. Supernatural. Alone. Tremendous. Risky. Positive. Wise. This is beauty.

nobody really gives a shit at this point

Atlee got more votes, I demand a recount.

Brexit is a Brit choice...

You mean the false romanticism linked with our history won’t be of use in the future? I didn’t see that coming 🤣
