1 in 4 Britons
‘Winston Churchill never existed.’
- Not a direct quote, but the result of a British survey by UKTV Gold.
**How in the hell did Britain ever become an empire? Not just any empire, either, but one of the greatest in the history of the world……….What’s not surprising is this once great empire is now little more than an American protectorate.
This same survey also discovered many Brits think Mahatma Gandhi, Cleopatra and the Duke of Wellington were fictional characters…..Yet they think Sherlock Holmes was a real person.
“This suggests a complete lack of common sense and respect for our greatest heroes of the past.” – Correlli Barnett (British Historian)
