Y'know who should fight? Amy Winehouse and Courtney Love.

I once went to bed with a man to see what it was like.

-Winston S Churchill. Soldier, statesman, all-round magnificent bastard.

One day I may get round to doing a big post that enlightens all you foreign types as to why Britain is better than your country. So much better.

If I do, this picture will probably be a significant part of it. Seriously, was there ever a cooler picture of a head of state?

(Another fight I would pay to see: A young Winston Churchill vs. a young Andrew Jackson)

In the meantime, for all your British military needs. Of particular notes are their entries on Johnny Foreigner (which most of you aren't), Anglo-French relations and the man himself. Arrse is xenophobic, homophobic, crab-hating and petty, so I really shouldn't love it the way I do. But then, it is an awesome (in patches) travel guide.

In conclusion, Winnie > Everyone. A thoroughgoing bastard, and frequent screwup, but never less than magnificent with it.

This episode of crazed jingoism brought to you by the need to kick out of depression and this fantastic icon by angelophile.

politics, history, awesome
