You just don't have a bloody clue, do you?
Churchill may have killed as much as Lenin.
Would a Lenin bust be appropriate in the White House!?

A good deal of British like to praise colonialism while looking down on other Europeans for their crimes like Hitler or Stalin or even mock other Europeans for lacking colonies like Poles & Irish etc.
Truth is the British Empire killed an enormous amount.
Probably more than Hitler & Stalin combined.
Just in India alone 60 - 85 million starved to death by British colonialism in 24 recorded famines.
That's literally 24 terror famines, while Soviets had just 3.
British also committed numerous crimes outside of India.
The blockade of Germany after WW1.
The Persian famine during WW1.
The Irish potato famine
Cromwell conquest of Ireland.
Their Atlantic slave trade crimes.
Their crimes against Native Americans, the Maori & Australoids.
The Taiping rebellion & Opium wars.
Of course the French, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, Germans and Belgians were paragons of virtue. It's clear that you've a massive chip on your shoulder and have little interest on the truth. Makes you wonder why so many Polish pilots fought in the Battle of Britain, and indeed why millions live in the Uk now, any answer to that?
the old moderate Biden is brain dead. Obamatrons infect this administration.It reflects a mindset.
The Brits have a colonialist history that ‘enlightened’ progressives find offensive. It didn’t surprise me that Obama would kick Churchill out but it seems out of character for Biden to do it.
you'd be speaking German if he didnt lead Great Britain to victory - old buggerChuck the bloody thing in the sea, like sensible people!He was an evil old bugger.
who says he can't? why so defensive?Absolutely petty, the President may have whatever art he wants in the White House.
you are talking miltary might. Churchill was much more then Stalin's land mass.Churchill only played a minor role in defeating Hitler, anyways.
Most of the credit goes to Stalin.
Care to field that one!?
Using a Stalin bust for the same reason as a Churchill bust!?
Being they both fought Hitler.
I didnt realize the convoys supplied material to Russia as well..good infoStupid twat, who do you think supplied the war materiel to the Russians? They would have been totally fucked without the Atlantic convoys.
^ Pure gossip and speculation.
Name names. Who exactly in the UK is horrified that moving a bust supposedly demonstrates Biden is a rabid Anglophobe.
you are talking miltary might. Churchill was much more then Stalin's land mass.
He pretty much gave a stiff upper lip to his people in the Battle of Britain
and kept any chance of suing for peace with Hitler from happening

This is what the Nazis planned for Wales if they won World War Two. Welsh would have been banned under the Nazis, who did not believe people here were as 'bright' as the English
Hitler had plans for exactly what would happen in the aftermath of a successful invasion of Britain
It's long been the subject of fiction – what would have happened to the UK if Nazi Germany had won the Second World War?
From countless novels to numerous films, a different outlook of the country's future has been imagined since the war finished in 1945.
Although it is, thankfully, the stuff of fiction the prospect of a Nazi-controlled UK almost became a reality.
So sure were the Nazis of a successful invasion that Hitler's top officials drew up huge plans detailing exactly how they would defeat the UK and what would have happened in the aftermath.
From stationing Nazi troops across south Wales to rounding up almost a quarter of the male population and making Wales an 'independent' country, we have looked at exactly what was planned for a Nazi-controlled Wales.
Just six weeks after a German invasion France fell to Nazi forces in June 1940 and the Third Reich quickly turned to Britain as its next target.
Poland, Holland, Belgium, Denmark, Norway and Luxembourg had all fallen before and the UK seemed to be ready to fall next.
On July 16, 1940, Adolf Hitler issued Directive Number 16 which read: "As England (which refers to Britain as a whole), in spite of the hopelessness of her military position, has so far shown herself unwilling to come to any compromise, I have decided to begin to prepare for, and if necessary to carry out, an invasion of England... and if necessary the island will be occupied."
Vast plans were drawn up under the codename Operation Sea Lion.
The documents were seized by Allied forces after the war and lay bare the full horrifying plans Nazi forces had for Wales following a successful invasion.
According to the plans “the able-bodied male population between the ages of 17 and 45 will, unless the local situation calls for an exceptional ruling, be interned and dispatched to the continent”.
This would have meant hundreds of thousands of young men would have been sent off to Europe to fight and serve Nazi Germany.
In the Operation Sea Lion documents, which were translated by Oxford University, it identified the Welsh as one group to keep a close eye on.
Officers wrote: "Unlike the bright English they are dark and small in stature. Even though they have largely abandoned their language, they have still retained a reasonably strong awareness of their distinctive heritage and culture."
In an attempt to decrease any loyalty to the government in Westminster, Germany would have carved up the UK turning it into more of a confederation of independent states.
Independence would have been given to Wales, Scotland, a united Ireland, and a semi-autonomous status for the West of England.
But, as half of Europe had already seen, independence under Nazi Germany wasn't something that really existed.

LOST FOOTAGE OF HITLER RELAXING AT HIS HOLIDAY RESIDENCE
Puppet governments from Norway to France were installed once German forces had invaded and Britain was to be no different.
Historical author Andrew Roberts said: "A more likely candidate might have been the former Liberal prime minister David Lloyd George, who had admired Adolf Hitler when they met before the war, and who might well have performed much the same role that Marshal Philippe Petain did after the fall of France."
The first, and so far only, Welsh prime minister was not included on a Nazi hit-list drawn up to stop any resistance movements across the country.
The Special Prosecution Book for Great Britain was known as the 'black book' and included 2,820 people who would be arrested after the invasion.
Lloyd George was not on the list due to his statements advocating peace once the war began.
With a puppet government installed Swastika flags and symbols would have likely been put up at most public buildings in Wales as they had been in France.
The Operation Sea Lion plans also refer to which languages would have been allowed, with Welsh banned.
A regulation would have been enforced that no language other than German, Italian, Spanish, French, Dutch or English could be used, with "dialects" not allowed.
In his book If Britain Had Fallen Norman Longmate said German forces would have been likely stationed across south Wales during the initial few months when resistance would be expected.
He added that troops would later be thinned out and Snowdonia would be "almost permanently ungarrisoned" with soldiers performing "occasional sweeps" to round up any resistance fighters.
Germany would have also made use of Welsh farms to feed the occupying troops rather than send off supplies back to the continent.
Winston Churchill said that if Britain had fallen in 1940 "all that we have known and cared for, will sink into the abyss of a new Dark Age".
Thankfully his prediction never came true.
Russias winter and landmass coupled with Hitler's arrogance saved Stalin..such as it isWithout the English channel I suspect Britain would have been done in 2 months.
The English Channel prevented Nazi tank blitzkrieg.
I didnt realize the convoys supplied material to Russia as well..good info
Russias winter and landmass coupled with Hitler's arrogance saved Stalin..such as it is
bingo.The Welsh Wanker is a nasty old bastard, Wales wouldn't have lasted five minutes without Churchill. He knows that perfectly well but is totally puffed up with nationalism and false pride.
This is what the Nazis planned for Wales if they won World War Two
Thankfully his prediction never came true.
bingo.
Fascism wasn't fooling around with Hitler.. it wasn't just da jews
doesnt matter.Not as much if at all.
Stalin had more troops & tech than Hitler.
It was a matter of time.
the fact Obama said GB would be at teh "back of the que" for tarde negotiations" after Brexit is a good place to start
