Many people are not aware that he died in November 1940 having resigned on 22 September before the BoB officially ended.Oh, I don't know. I've just learned Chamberlain died yesterday.
Died yesterday? Wow, that's a pretty long life, 1869 to 2021! And could there be a more fitting epitaph than to succumb to cancer of the poop chute?Oh, I don't know. I've just learned Chamberlain died yesterday.
It is a deliberate miss quote, yesterday a poster here was advancing the argument that Chamberlain would be a problem for Churchill in a November election, in reality he was dead.Died yesterday?

Lost in the history of WW2 is that his funeral was on 19th November 1940 his ashes interred in Westminster abbey Churchill delivered this eulogy three days after his death, the Queen of the day (todays queen mother) arrived by armoured car for the funeral.That would make campaigning tough.
Whatever else history may or may not say about these terrible, tremendous years, we can be sure that Neville Chamberlain acted with perfect sincerity according to his lights and strove to the utmost of his capacity and authority, which were powerful, to save the world from the awful, devastating struggle in which we are now engaged. This alone will stand him in good stead as far as what is called the verdict of history is concerned.[218]

It was a lame attempt at humor. Now you know why I'm Special Ed. All those confused, now say in unison, "Now ain't that special". It is just like being back at work.
Oh, I got and get the humour but we do have someone who knows the far end of a fart about convenient facts but nothing about inconvenient facts. This results in dead people contesting imaginary elections, which to me is "funny as"It was a lame attempt at humor. Now you know why I'm Special Ed.

Or he has never had his ideas questioned and historic realities, like people dying of natural causes introduced.*sigh*
I thinking that by this point, junior is just trolling us. His position flip-flops more than a trout in the bottom of a boat.

"Turkey trots to water". Ask the turkey.Wait. Did he just die yesterday, or did you just learn yesterday? The world wonders.
And a personality that's not binary: on/off, yes/no, right/wrong, all/nothing, fact/fiction, black/white. Makes shades of gray a pretty threatening concept."You know, you might have a point there" would be so much easier to write, but it requires an ego that can admit error.
It was Chamberlain who designated his successor, not the King . If Chamberlain said : not Churchill, Churchill would not be PM.And if Chamberlain said : Churchill out, Churchill would cease as PM . The Tories had the majority in the Commons and they followed Chamberlain and accepted, unwillingly as PM some one who started as Conservative, became a Liberal,became Conservative again ,but tried to unseat the Conservative leader (Baldwin ).For a lot of Conservative MPs,Winston was a renegade. And for a lot of left wingers,he was a crypto fascist .So the British surrender and then hold an election, if Germany gives them permission? Can you spend more than 2 seconds on these theories. The declaration of war was more significant to the UK than it was to Germany, with that declaration the UK government took almost unlimited powers, including those on the constitution. The Emergency Powers Act was passed on 24 August 1939 in reaction to Nazi Soviet pact. After Sept 3 1939 the UK had and used far more powers over its people than Germany did. I am getting a bit irked by people who dont know the UK constitution or its history glibly lecturing me on it. No one "makes" a British prime minister, after an election the monarch invites a member to form a government.

And,when the war was over, the Emergency Powers Act would be over .
