Winston Churchill
2007-11-03 08:57:00 Churchill as a painter I have had Hitler so I have to have Churchill. Churchill’s art has sold for a staggering £600,000 in recent years, that is certainly another step ahead of Hitler. Personally, I don’t really like his paintings either. As a painter he was prolific, with over 570 paintings and two sculptures; he received a Diploma from the Royal Academy of London. Approximately 350 paintings are housed in Churchill’s garden Studio at Chartwell. His paintings were catalogued after his death by historian David Coombs with the support of the Churchill family. Coombs has published two books on the subject. The modern archive of Churchill’s art work is managed by designer Tony Malone, who oversees the administration and management of digital catalogue. Anthea Morton Saner and the Churchill Heritage Trust are responsible for all copyrights. Churchill began painting in his 40s following a personal and political disaster, the Dardanelles Campaign in 1915. He...

Britain contemptuously buries Winston Churchill
2007-07-15 23:09:00 Well, I guess with all the PC-madness consuming Britain, it was going to happen sooner or later: they're taking school lessons about the man who may have been the last sane leader they ever had and deleting them from their school curriculum (via Michelle Malkin):FURY erupted last night after Sir Winston Churchill was axed from school history lessons.Britain?s cigar-chomping World War Two PM ? famed for his two-finger victory salute ? was removed from a list of figures secondary school children must learn about.Instead they will be taught about ?relevant? issues such as global warming and drug dangers. Churchill?s grandson, Tory MP Nicholas Soames, branded the move ?total madness.?The decision to axe Churchill is part of a major shake-up aimed at dragging the national curriculum into the 21st century, it was claimed last night.But the plan ? hatched by advisers ? angered schools secretary Ed Balls, who vowed to probe ALL the changes to the curriculum.The proposals will see tradition...

Remembering Winston Churchill on his 132nd Birthday
2006-12-02 18:42:02 Today marks the 132nd anniversary of the birth of the greatest man of the last century, Sir Winston Churchill, who, in the 1930s, was a lone voice in the wilderness warning his fellow Britons of the dangers of the rise of Nazism in Germany. While some have compared our era to that desolate decade, I should note that those warning today about the threat of Islamofascism are not nearly so isolated as Churchill once was. Let us hope that people today heed their warnings. While the Britons of the 1930s did not heed those of Churchill, they did make him Prime Minister in 1940, allowing him to lead the free world against the evil he had understood while others were complacent. He rallied his people -- and the free world -- to victory against that menace, but at great cost. On this his birthday, let us be inspired by Sir Winston, cognizant of the threats to our freedom and of the power of a great man to lead and inspire a nation with an understanding of his nation's history (indeed o...
