I am proud to say that my family brought me up to be anti monrchist, when everyone else stood up in cinemas when the national anthem was played we had to sit down,it was great fun.
Funnily enough my father who was a member of the communist party, used to say that he thought the queen mother was one of the best of the monarchy, that during the second world war she went around the east end of london,shortly after it had been bombed trying to raise morale.
however, he also thought ray buckton leader of ASLEF was a good left winger, this was ray buckton who under the fifty year rule, was reporting back to mi5 during the 1973 miners strike on trade union meetings, an informer.
it is easy sometimes to be misled by people at the time.
there were a lot of things wrong with Churchill, but he was one of only a few who were not fascist appeasers, Iam inclined to agree with Jim
