World Leaders

Winston Churchill was a British statesman, soldier, writer, and orator who played a central role in 20th-century world history. Born in 1874, he began his career as an army officer and war correspondent before entering Parliament in 1900. Over the next decades, he held major government posts including First Lord of the Admiralty during World War I and later Chancellor of the Exchequer. Though politically controversial and out of office during much of the 1930s, he became a leading voice warning against the rise of Nazi Germany. In 1940, as Britain faced the threat of invasion during World War II, Churchill became Prime Minister and rallied the nation with powerful speeches and steadfast leadership, guiding the United Kingdom through its darkest hours and working closely with Allied leaders to secure victory. After losing the 1945 general election, he returned as Prime Minister from 1951 to 1955. In addition to his political career, Churchill was a prolific writer and historian, winning the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1953. He died in 1965, remembered as one of Britain’s most significant and influential leaders.

This Really Did Happen

The notion of Churchill stumbling home drunk and wet, which carries no attribution, is the invention of a fevered mind. It is a bowdlerization of an encounter between Churchill and a fellow Member of Parliament, witnessed by the late Ronald Golding, the bodyguard present on that occasion:

Bessie Braddock MP: “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.”
