Date: 2018-01-23 04:27 pm (UTC)It's a pity that his warnings against Hitler were dismissed, for instance, but it wasn't just because the other politicians were obtuse. It was because, through long experience, they couldn't trust Churchill's judgment. At the same time he was denouncing Hitler, he was - in terms equally apocalyptic - also denouncing Gandhi.
And this after both major parties had agreed to move India towards self-government. Churchill was incensed about that.
