Hitler knows that he will have to break us in this Island or lose the war.
3
CHURCHILL:
If we can stand up to him, all Europe may be free
and the life of the world may move forward into broad, sun-
BBC PRESENTER:

CHURCHILL:

7
HITLER:
Let me finish - what we are proposing eez a simple power-sharing arrangement -
8
CHURCHILL:
What's he doing here
BBC PRESENTER:
It's important we hear both sides of the debate
9
CHURCHILL:
This isn't a debate
You don't debate fascists
10
HITLER:
Oh here we go with ze Godwins law!
11
HITLER:
Why must you people always compare ze things you don't like to 'fascists, Nazis, Hitler'...
CHURCHILL:

Proud of myself for cooking Sunday lunch at home, not going down the pub . . .
Going back for second, seconds of roast potatoes, I flipped the entire roasting tin over.
My entire kitchen is a Rosmary and Garlic crime scene. Floor, Fridge. Microwave. I am too full of potatoes to care/cope.

During Covid I gave myself two French Jazz songs to learn to play . . . "Autum leaves" or "Je t'aime moi non plus".
I half-arsed halfway both of them except now I am excited to announce I am trying again . . .
This is my solem pledge to do it.
