I've been getting some 1:1 management training (oh don't ask) it's all very corporate and sincere. In the first session, he talked about leadership.

him: "Winston Churchill was a great leader, but there's something about him that most people don't know"
me: "That he was a massive racist and committed genocicde in India?"
him: ".... no that he had depression"
me: "oh yeah, everyone knows that"

@sarahdal The thing I learned about Churchill that blew my mind was when we were touring the magnificent Blenheim Palace, seat of the Duke of Marlborough, and was casually informed it was Churchill’s family home. This was around the time a now-forgotten film was depicting him riding the London Underground as mister humble man of the people, which I imagine he’d’ve been outraged by.
