![THEIR FINEST HOUR speech by Winston Churchill [BEST SOUND]](/img/tr.png)
Good Stuff. One of the Greatest of the 20th Century for sure.
I have an endless admiration of Churchill, extraordinary man. I have the book made up from all the existing copies of the correspondence between Churchill and his mother, a book I am so pleased to have in my possession. The book about Churchill between the wars, I think the title might be “The Wilderness Years” is to be recommended as well it displays his seemingly infinite care and concern for Britain and the British. Shame some of Britains current politicians were not infected with the same character. Though I there are those among them who would you believe they were, but I that an affectation rather than anything genuine and sincere.
We visited his country home last week, Chartwell, what a fascinating place and insight into an extraordinary man and his family life.
@@Bonzman I`ve been there too,its surprisingly small,but the grounds are beautiful,I loved looking around his art studio where he went to paint too.And seeing the brick walls he built himself brick-by-brick!
His command of the English language was extraordinary, and well deserved was his Nobel Prize in literature.
His decisions about Gallipoli were appalling. He may be forgiven for his youth.
@@vincentbugalia3858 I imagine a leader of Churchills abilities was able to acknowledge and taken responsibility for the Gallipoli debacle, an aspect of character that precludes many of those that these days try to pass themselves off as leaders when all they are are managers. Management is a skill that anyone can learn leadership is a quality, innate, you are born with it or not it is not something that can be learned, their are aspects of it that preclude most, many managers from having it. They involve the responsibility already mentioned, a genuine leader will never shirk it. Another is loyalty and perhaps surprisingly it is loyalty to self first, the insistence that you retain your own identity and not mould yourself to others expectations. In that Churchill was one of the greats.
The greatest English leader. Wish we had him now
100% proper leader
War leader only..not required in peace time...threw out of Parliament. .
He was a mass murderer. Ask any Bengali of the 40s
Mass murderer.
@@Tismeok Most governing in peace are a waste of space ,
@@Tismeok And then voted in again. Go figure!
My favorite Churchill quote is his replay when asked what he would do in a certain situatioin. He replied, "Wouldn't our enemies like to know?"
His favourite was probably let the six million people starve to death in India the sick evil bastard Satanist
A fantastic exponent of the English language. . A joy to listen to as an orator. The Cicero of our age.
Thankyou Thankyou
WC walked into the House of Commons men's room after a particularly acrimonious debate on nationalization of industries. A Labor MP was at a urinal and WC took another one quite a ways away. The MP said "Feeling standoffish today Winston?" to which WC replied "No it's just whenever you see something big you want to nationalize it"
hahahahahahahahahaaha,brilliant
that was brilliant. only churchill could come up with a reply like that.
@@trinihammer A truly Great man,it infuriates me to hear Lefties nit-picking away at his character and being rude about him nowadays.
@@mjh5437 i could'nt agree more.
@@mjh5437 He was after all a man of his time. Given the other World leaders at the time he was standing up to German aggression I would say what damn fine person he was. Thank God we had him.
It is said that on one occassion in Parliament another MP voted NAY to his every proposal, to which he said "Sir, the nay usually comes from the other end of the horse"
HOW TRUE ARE THESE QUOTES,,BRILLIANT
The Great and irreplaceable Churchill!! Bravo Sir Winston! 🙏🙏🇬🇧🇺🇸
Sorry but he was a satanist
To a political opponent sir you are a humble man.and much reason to be.
"A humble litttle man, with much to be humble about", Also "A sheep, in sheep clothing" - both referred to Clement Atlee (I think)
No he said " ---- a modest man with much to be modest about."
The man had a fierce wit!
" You can please some of the People, all the time".
" All of the people, some of the time".
" But, you can NEVER, NEVER please All of the People ALL of the time ".
Absolutely brilliant, Sir !
Intelligent, Wit and Erudite, too. 🇬🇧🏴🏴❤️🌹👏🌟
Who said that? No-one.
@@nicfarrow Certainly not you that`s for sure.
That quote is attributed to the poet John Lydgate and later adapted by President Abraham Lincoln:
“You can please some of the people all of the time, you can please all of the people some of the time, but you can’t please all of the people all of the time”.
@@ronlangelaan1488 And the usual version is
“You can FOOL some of the people all of the time, you can fool all of the people some of the time, but you can’t fool all of the people all of the time”
@@kenoliver8913 interesting, that’s yet another spin, thanks 🙏!
I understand the drunk comment was: "Mr. Churchill, you are drunk, very, very drunk!" And Churchill replied: "Madam; you are ugly; very, very ugly; but tomorrow, I shall be sober!"
Credit the speech writers. ..
@@Tismeok the official transcript was without the “very very” repetitions and was directed at Bessie Braddock - hence also not “madam” but “…and you Bessie…”
I drink a toast to the Bulldog of Britain now and then, usually special occasions.
I fear we'll not see the likes of Sir Winston Churchill, his great love for Great Britain.
Have to agree. God forbid we are in another war as I doubt we have patriotism in the way they had it back then.
Fantastic Churchill
- but in private an awful man with no friends. His poor wife spent her life apologising for him. In politics he was wrong about most things.....except, of course, for the threat of fascism and the coming war. It was his saving grace and the country's...... his other saving grace is that during the war he listened to and trusted people around him, even though, as in the case of Montgomery, he couldn't stand them (and not without reason TBH).....
@@panchopuskas1 You`re lucky you`re not speaking German now.
@@panchopuskas1
“He was wrong about most things”.
- Utter garbage.
. . .
@@panchopuskas1he was evil a Satanist
@@panchopuskas1 Mate, you dont know what your on about!!!!!!FFS
Thanks for sharing!.
I can say ( hand on heart ! ) that I have spent one night , with my ( OMG , drunk ) friend , sleeping on his BIG flat grave in Bladon churchyard , Oxfordshire , UK .... What a hero .............. DAVE™🛑
How disgusting....curse be upon you.
If your going to use an A.I voice use one that's designed to sound like Churchill
I don’t like how the Voice is the robot voice
I always have the sound off! Saves losing one’s temper! 😄🇬🇧👍
Compounded by completely unnecessary 'dramatic' music, no doubt to set the right tone of gravitas as we need our state of mind moulding (ie this is the moment to be thoughtful/ impressed/ in awe because we are incapable of assessing levels of significance for ourselves, 'oh please tell me how I should receive this 'wisdom' because I am mindless).
@@torfrida6663 Poor speakers help too.
I don't think Churchill would either!
Churchill was a great man. What he did to rally the United Kingdom during the war was amazing. I remember listening to his speeches about defending the island and his dry mockery of the nazis. Classic stuff at a very bad time.
Love my Hero, because although he clearly knew it was his Destiny to save England, he wasn’t sure how other than to give his people the courage to pick themselves up and carry on! He deserved naughty Saint Hood but he and ultimately Clemmie died in abject poverty. Is this how we treat our military Heroes? Our wounded Warriors? Just asking❤❤❤❤❤❤
Mark Twain made the remark about a lie going around the world before truth got its pants on. Churchill would have said, "trousers."
I believe he actually said 'boots'.
Pants are underwear in UK speak.
Boots.
Thank you.
One of my favourites was towards the end of the war, when the Russians were pushing through Poland into Germany; one of his adjutants received a request for a consignment of condoms. Churchill said he would sanction them as long as they were 9" long and stamped 'Medium'!
I always heard it was Roosevelt talking to Stalin, when Stalin requested the Americans supply the Russians with condoms. Stalin asked "what sizes do you have available?" Roosevelt replied "The only size we have is Texas Jumbo."
@@capitolabill1921 Well it sounds like it has been 'doctored' for each nation but we get the gist!🤣
Cock jokes, right? 😂
Roosevelt was a democrat and we know how democrat presidents like to copy the speeches of British MPs. Just like Joe in 1987.
Not quite. During the war in the desert, troops of both sides found their rifles and machine guns getting clogged with sand. Some bright spark came up with the idea of producing out-sized condoms to put over the barrels. This was thought to be in bad taste, and Churchill was asked for a ruling.
He said that the idea should go ahead, provided the condoms were clearly marked "Made in Britain" and labelled "Medium Size".
German ambassador to England before WW I l approached Churchill and told him that in the next war Italy would be on the German side. Churchill replied " Only fair we had to have them the last time"
Churchill used to sit in his bath reading the morning broadsheets while his private secretary (male) looked at the tabloids for items he thought would be of interest to the old man. The secretary tutted shaking his head in disgust and Churchill asked him what he was reading. "Two Coldstream Guards were arrested yesterday for indecency in Hyde Park" said the secretary. Churchill was silent then "It's December! What was temperature yesterday? The secretary said that it was well below zero. Churchill shook his head in wonder and said "Makes you proud to be British"
I don't know if this is apocryphal: Looking at WC's large belly, The Parliamentary Member for X congratulated WC on his pregnancy and asked if he chosen a name for the child. WC replied yes, if it is a boy I shall name it Nelson after our great national hero, if it is a girl I shall name it Jennie after my dear Mama, but if as I suspect it is just a bag of wind I shall name it after the Parliamentary Member for X. (Slight editing for narrative effect).
I think he got that line from William Howard Taft. 🇺🇸
Using AI is an injustice when referring to one of the greatest orators if all time.
That’s because Link Cool doesn’t want you & me to subscribe at least I didn’t
Great thoughts 😊
On seeing Clement Attlee walk by: "There goes a sheep in sheep's clothing."
WC referred to Attlee as a modest man, with much to be modest about
"If you are going through hell keep going !"
That's where he is the evil satanist
He once called an opposition MP a sheep in sheep's clothing. He was on the toilet when a young MP called at his home to apologise for insulting him in the House, he told his wife to tell him he would have to wait as he could only deal with one shit at a time.
Churchill was a brilliant orator, unfortunately this computerised voice does no justice to the phrases and it's monotone sound drives me crazy.
Exactly.
I agree. Had no feel for the content at all.
When he was in opposition, Churchill accused a government minister of lying. This brought a rebuke from the Speaker who said that was unparliamentary language and thus forbidden in the House of Commons. Churchill withdrew his first remark, then accused the minister of telling "Terminological inexactitudes."
I quote: "Bessie Braddock": “Winston, you are drunk, and what's more you are disgustingly drunk.” Winston Churchill: “Bessie, my dear, you are ugly, and what's more, you are disgustingly ugly. But tomorrow I shall be sober and you will still be disgustingly ugly.” 1946." (An exchange between the two in the House of Commons London).
I doubt Churchill would have used the word ‘pants’ for trousers.
Exactly. In the UK, "pants" is what North Americans call UNDERPANTS.
He didn't, he said "....truth has got her boots on"
And he drank tea not coffee.
Nor is he likely to have said about poisoned tea, "I'd drink it"; I read it as being, "If I were your husband, I should drink it."
He didn't, because it is a Mark Twain quote. Just as the one about "You can please some of the people etc" is an Abraham Lincoln quote. Not just the voice but the selection of quotes was done by a hallucinating AI bot. A really poor post.
Aneurin Bevan had him down pat: "Prime Minister, you come in here and win every debate, then you go and lose every battle".
The English Womens Association quotes an extract from Churchil's pre-battle speach:
"It will be hard. It wil be long. And there shall be no withdrawals".
Its a shame we haven't got him now!!!!!!!!!!!🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Would be better without the « voice » and just to allow the viewer to read it.
From his memoirs-
"My pistol made contact with the man's face as i fired"- at battle of Omdurman.
"They actually think they're going to win!"- incredulously observing the advancing muslim hordes at Omdurman.
"Here at last I take it" - unhorsed and alone calmly contemplating death as Boer horsemen charged down on him. (a trooper rescued him by giving him a ride).
"It was sporting of the Boers to take on the might of the British Empire"
"Hopefully the Zulus will put up another show" - lamenting the fact that there were no current wars going for him.
"Before America entered the war [WW2] I knew we could not win it. After she entered I knew we could not lose"
That quote on free speech is so relevent, now we have Sir Kneel Stalin as Prime Minister
Churchill got lots of practice in this sort of thing in the British House of Commons. Read the HANSARD--a record of Parliamentary debates. It's no place for sissies. Churchill's own writings are certainly of note: THE HISTORY OF THE ENGLISH SPEAKING PEOPLES (4 vols.); THE SECOND WORLD WAR (6 vols.); MY EARLY LIFE: A ROVING COMMISSION; GREAT CONTEMPORARIES.
We are all worms.. but I believe I am a Glow Worm...
He is intoxicated by the exuberance of he own verbosity..
And so it goes...
If I remember the first barb was also addressed to Lady Aster in parliament
Saviour of the Western World.
About my country:
"Before July, the 25th 1943 in Italy there were 45 millions of fascist. After July, the 25th in Italy there were 45 millions of anti-fascist. I didn't know that Italy has 90 millions of citizens". On that day, the king replaced the prime-minister Mussolini with general Badoglio. The latter was famous for his defeat in Caporetto in WW1.
*_Neat._*
Say nomore _say nomore _*_say nomore ..._*
What a great man!
My favorite quote is: "‘The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings. The inherent virtue of Socialism is the equal sharing of miseries.’
One of my favourite quotes about Churchill was made by Nancy Astor (I think): 'Have you heard, Winston's written a book all about himself and he called it The Second World War?'
WC… the greatest argument against democracy is a ten minute conversation with the average voter…
Winston Churchill's Remarks are So BAD ASS .
😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
First encounter was with Bessie Braddock, labour MP.
Churchill, was like Frank Carson, ( and unlike the narrator of this video) Its the way you tell 'em !
‘The definition of success is to move from failure to failure without any loss of enthusiasm’
Did you mistake some of this with Bernard Shaw?
My favorite: A lady walks up to Churchill at a party and says: "Winston, you're drunk..." and he replies... "Yes madame, I'm drunk and you're ugly, but tomorrow I'll be sober and you'll still be ugly."
That voice was simply made for comedy. I had to bale.
Shame to spoil such great words from such a great man with some robotic voice over
What about the exchange of letters with George Bernard Shaw during the 1930 s,when GBS sent Winston invitations to his new play.
Why do so many of these TH-cam bots think Churchill would have said "pants", it was boots!
Churchill had a sophisticated and learned (pronounced "learn - ed") way of expressing the English language, as she is spoke. Sadly this channel has no idea of any of this subtlety and thereby does him (and all English speakers) an injustice.
Glad you can correct mistakes when the are pointed out. To bad you feel it necessary to delete the people who point ot the mistake.
O h yes I can make typos as well
His mother was American 😮
You didn`t know??
As an angry man left a meeting: “There but for the grace of God, goes God”.
A young MP insulted WC in the House and his party leader made him go to WC home at Chartwell to apologize. WC butler Inches announced the young mans arrival while WC was on the john. Winston said " Tell him I can only take one sh*t at a time"
Churchill said this when Viscount Halifax rang him.
absolutely brilliant.
When he planned his funeral he said he wanted taps to be played at the end of the church service, and reveille to be played at the interment of his body.
The British did not use either of those two.
He did ask for his funeral train to go from London Waterloo station, not the more direct London Paddington station, just to annoy Charles de Gaulle!
Churchill asked Roosevelt where did he learn to say “skedule” instead of “schedule”, to which Roosevelt replied “from SCHULE”.
Horrid AI "voice" narration renders the mangling misquotes of most of these quips even worse. I greatly admire Winston Churchill's wit, and you have done him and us a great disservice with this. What a shame.
History is written by the victors, but it is read by the survivors.
❤❤❤
You missed out the famous " he is a modest man with much to be modest about"
Abysmal series of misquotes. What Churchill actually said was much more concise and hence both funnier and cleverer.
Precisely.
He also said "I was all in favor of democracy til I talked to voters for five minutes."
The worst form of government is democracy, apart from all the others we have tried.
First one wasnt a "lady who came up" it was labour MP for liverpool bessie bradock.
Ditto the previous comments.
Churchill not only gave brilliant wording, but brilliant delivery..
This fails totally on delivery, and so steals great words for vile purpose.
Was it Churchill who said that if Hitler invaded Helll he would at least make a favourable reference to the Devil in the House of Commons ?
Unsaid by Winston Churchill: I have saved Western Civilization -- if you can keep it.
Damn, sounds like the AI voiceover was done on a Commodore 64.
Wonderful quotes but the terrible reader spoils them!
I read and listened to the first two, and the quotes were so inaccurate, I'm not going to watch the rest of the video. Churchill didn't relate the insults in the form of an anecdote; he simply responded to the speaker's remarks. Lady Astor said, "Why Mister Churchill! I believe you're drunk." Churchill replied, "Yes, madam, I'm quite drunk; and you are quite ugly, but tomorrow I'll be sober." He didn't spoil the joke with the redundant remark that she would still be ugly. As for the poison joke, Churchill said (also to Lady Astor), "If you were my wife, I should drink it." The use of the word "should" made the insult funnier.
Thank you for replanting these gems in the situations of their birth.
Half of Churchill's verbal dexterity is to be found in the why, where and when they were said, not just the what was said and no more.
You've just about saved this channel's bacon.
You are incorrect; it was Bessie Braddock who said "Winston, you are drunk".......etc!
@@telmas7183 Thanks. Quotes are too commonly ascribed to the most common sources of quotes. If what you say is correct, this is an example of that phenomenon.
Noice
In parliament wc was told he could not use the word liar so he said that it was a verbal inexactitude
I was biying dog food, when a woman next to me asked: "Which kind of dog do you jave"? "It's name is Winston", I said. "Oh, the bulldog", said.
Few know that Churchill won the Nobel Prize for literature.
Robovoice = automatic thumbs down.
A taxi with nobody in it pulled up-- and Clement Atlee got out: (( owch!
I thought that first one was W.C. Fields.
(Speaking of teetotaler Sir Stafford Cripps): "He has all of the virtues I dislike, and none of the vices I admire."
Better if it had been spoken by. Burton
A very poor account of the “drunk” retort.
“Winston, you’re drunk!”
“And you, Bessie, are ugly; but tomorrow, I shall be sober…”
And he said it in the Houses of Parliament,not in the street.
Tomorrow never came!
Shouldn't this be called "Greatest misquotes of Winston?"
Churchill was so brilliant in his witticisms....AI is so pathetic in its delivery....
Appalling narration
Ruined by poor presentation
Yeah. Possibly a computerized narrator.
Could've been worse . . . North Korean impression perhaps‼️👍🏼 🤔😱🙀🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
This is the voice on The Wojack shorts of the guy always drinking beer.
I think but am not entirely sure that he said of one of his political opponents ‘There but for the grace of God goes God’.
Frequently a link hid some of the text.
A video that would have been amusing if not for the DREADFUL Ai voice choice. Slow and tedious kills comic timing.
Some quotes are from W.C. Fields, Mark Twain, and common expression. I guess everyone needs a hobby.
