evidence: "Churchill was a decent man and honourable man, as well as a charming one," argues John Simpson on the BBC website. "It was these qualities, not just his famous defiance that made him prime minister." [...] Many historians also refuse to forgive Churchill for his views on race. The Guardian reports that he once said: "I do not admit... that a great wrong has been done to the Red Indians of America or the black people of Australia... by the fact that a stronger race, a higher grade race... has come in and taken its place." [...] Veteran British journalist Peregrine Worsthorne has accused Churchill of warmongering. "Seldom has there been a statesman as good at glorifying war, and as indecently eager to wage war as Winston Churchill," he said. "All his works demonstrate his love of war, glamourise its glories and minimise its horrors."
