Went to this museum. Didn't really get to learn much if any of the history but like I was a bit confused - why did the war room get expanded as a museum? Why not just leave the war room as it was?Are they, they, they, whoever they are, afraid of like, time travelers? Time traveling Nazis? What is this Red Alert?
>>18485540Do they tell the story of when Churchill was too drunk to pronounce the 'blood and tears' speech and an actor did it in his place ? Do they tell the story of the jewish Focus Group that payed his bills in exchange for going to war with Germany ?Do tell the story of when he was fleeing London because of an expected German bombing, and he came rushed back when he discovered Coventry was to be bombed but he said to his stuff London was the target and he wanted to heroically wait for the bombers to come ?
>>18485606Why is this problematic exactly?
>>18485540By far the most overrated PM. Shitty in wartime and even worse in peacetime - not just for the British, but for all the imperial subjects. If not for his egregiously retarded bungling of the independence movement during WWII even after the INC was literally willing to work alongside the government, India would not have collapsed nearly as quickly into the kind of widespread rioting immediately post-war that led to Pakistan and the rushed British retreat
>>18485540It was Maggie Thatcher's pet project, and it was set up as a business under her preferred free market principles (hence why unlike most of London's big museums it's not free). They probably felt they had to add stuff so they could advertise it as a longer experience than it actually is and thus compete and justify the overpriced tickets.
