MUCH IS BEING MADE OF KING GEORGE IV'S SPEECH IMPEDIMENT, AND HOW HE MASTERED IT AND HOW IMPORTANT THAT WAS.
MUCH IS BEING MADE OF IT NOW BECAUSE MUCH MONEY IS BEING MADE FROM A GREAT MOVIE ABOUT IT. THE HYPE HELPS THE MOVIE.
IN FACT, THE KING AND HIS SPEECHES WERE NOT CENTRAL TO BRITAIN'S EFFORTS IN THE WAR.
THE PRIME MINISTER'S SPEECHES WERE - AS WERE HIS ACTIONS AS LEADER OF BRITISH WAR EFFORTS.
I SPEAK OF WINSTON SPENCER CHURCHILL, WHO HAD A WORSE SPEECH IMPEDIMENT THAN KING GEORGE IV, AND WHO NEVERTHELESS WAS ABLE TO BECOME A MASTERFUL COMMUNICATOR WHOSE SPEECHES ACTUALLY HELPED SAVE THE HUMAN RACE.
DESPITE HIS SPEECH IMPEDIMENT - AND NUMEROUS POLITICAL DEFEATS - AND DESPITE BEING HARANGUED FOR YEARS AS A JEW-LOVER AND A WAR-MONGER, CHURCHILL WAS PERHAPS THE MOST IMPORTANT MAN OF THE 20TH CENTURY.
JUDGE FOR YOURSELF:
DEDICATED TO EXPOSING DISINFORMATION AND PROPAGANDA AND TO PROMOTING UNIVERSAL HUMAN RIGHTS - WITH SHARP ANALYSIS AND BLUNT COMMENTARY. NO ADS. NO TIP-JAR. JUST THE TRUTH.
Ssshh!! Don't mention Churchill/the war!! You might upset the Germans/ Mozlems/Marxists/the current British Gov/ anyone who hates British history!!
