Anthony Eden Asks Churchill to Resign | The Crown (John Lithgow, Jeremy Northam) 

All that culminated in Suez ‘56.

Lmao Eden moment

The Empire was imploding anyway as the whole rotten lot had been in slow collapse for ages.

Your "empire" imploded long before then, get over yourselves.

Churchill killed the Empire. He was no hero, but a sad, pathetic, greedy, cadaverous old fool.

Might as well give it away instead of trying to hang on it like the French and Portuguese who lost their empires anyway.

John Lithgow really pulled this off.

Strongly disagree

Terrible portrayal of Churchill the man. Lithgow is a great actor, but this was not a good portrayal.

​@@Padraig1974 he's not playing Winston the war hero, but Winston the sickly old man who's the product of another time. this is how 1950s churchill should be portrayed

Definitely the best portrayal of Churchill on screen.

If he only didn't back the Suez invasion...

@@Unknownstatus_521ultimately America eventually realized after 1967 that Eden had been right about Nasser. In 1956 however they were naive about his true nature and intentions.

@@TheLocalLtright about what?

@@intello8953 about Nasser’s nature and intentions

@@TheLocalLt to not allow anyone to pass through the Suez Canal?

THAT’S what I know him from!! Thought he looked familiar!

It wasn't a question of age, it was a case of him being simply out of touch with what the people wanted and refusing to listen when people told him how popular the Labor party was.

Churchill's tenure saw the beginning of the end of that empire although we in Ireland dealt the first major blow.

I think you are correct - courageous and gifted man Eden.

They have to do that in order to make Churchill look better

Suez was a hare-brained scheme.

Oh please. Labour never saw someone else’s money they didn’t want to take

@@davidpar2 What has this got to do with my comment? Nothing. They wanted to get rid of Churchill because it improved their chances of being reelected. The same reason they got rid of Thatcher, May, Bozo, Truss. They would get rid of Sunak if they thought they could get away with it. But since you brought it up. The Tories have brought in record tax rises. So much so with the freezing of allowances people on the state pension will be paying tax. They have put VAT up from 15% to 20% They put it on domestic heat and power, hot takeaway foods, fresh orange juice. They introduced airport departure tax, insurance premium tax, put it up. Put up National insurance. They altered the car tax bands putting them up. The only money they didn’t want to take was their and their rich mates. The missing billions given to their mates for PPE that was never supplied. Never mind Kwarteng and Truss tanking the economy and housing market. So please if you’re going to comment at least bring up something relevant or do your homework.

@@davidpar2 Really? what has that got to do with my comment? Nothing. They got rid of Churchill because they had a better chance of winning without him. Just as they got rid of May, Johnson, and Truss. If they thought they cold get away with getting rid of Sunak they,d do that. Since you brought it up, the Tories have introduced record tax rises. So much so people on the state pension will end up paying tax because the thresholds have been frozen. They put up National insurance. They have increased VAT from 15 to 20%, put it on hot takeaway food, fresh orange juice, domestic heat and power. They introduced insurance premium tax, put it up, airport departure tax. They altered the car tax band’s putting them up. So it looks like the Tories never saw someone else’s money they didn’t want to take. Unless it was theirs or their rich mates. Sunak not seeing the problem of his billionaire wife using non dom status to avoid paying tax. The billions given away to their mates for PPE that was either useless or not supplied. If you’re going to reply to someone at address the point they’re making or get your facts straight.

Eden did say AND the country. And obviously the members of any party see its policies as better for the country and those of opposing parties as worse. It's STUPID to think that everyone not in YOUR party somehow "know" that your party is "right" but refuse to admit it.

@@IrishCarney First and foremost the Conservative Party does what’s best for the Conservative Party, that’s why they’re one of the most successful political party’s ever. The and “Country” came second. That’s the point. They were putting Party first. If they thought they could still win with Churchill they wouldn’t have got rid of him. It’s why they got rid of Thatcher, Bozo the clown, Truss and if they thought they could get rid of Sunak, he’d be gone as well. Writing in capitals doesn’t make you right.

And? It was evil.

And? It was an evil empire.

people love to associate the word 'empire' with evil nowadays, it seems the fashionable thing to do. When the British Empire was more like a giant trading bloc.

Well, Trump never gave anything, did he.

Trump’s golfing bills alone to the taxpayer are far more than Biden’s ever “taken” from us, troll. 😠

​@@GizmoBeach Tell Biden to stop messing with womyn's sex based rights, like he's trying to do with Title IX. We all know he's just trying to weaponize abortion because a big part of the Dem electorate is angry at him.

Looks like he gave.

This didn’t age well

Don't take your history from TV shows, bud.

How

Don't blind yoursrlf, both parties are detrimental to your country.

Yeah, according to you, Britain peaked in the miserable and wretched pre-Thatcher late 1970s

@@IrishCarney what makes YOU think that I think that?

@@IrishCarney Thatcher fucked Britain over

So, two British prime ministers. :)

Churchill was a traitor

The Germans were the ones promoting family values by removing Zionism from positions of power which they used (and still use today) to corrupt society. Even with the upper-hand the Germans had an outstanding peace offer through the entire world war. We fought the wrong enemy. After the war Churchill and Roosevelt signed a document to kill 20 million German civilians to satisfy the Zionist old testament vengeance, I bet they don't talk about that in school..

So u would rather be speaking German?
