TIL Winston Churchill was no fan of Gandhi. saying he was “a seditious Middle Temple lawyer, now posing as a fakir” this enraged Labour and Liberal opinion although he was supported by many grassroot Conservatives.

Gandhi also shared his bed with young girls to test his “restraint”..
Did you expect him to be a fan of Gandhi?
Gandhi was racist, slept naked with underage girls, and thought enemas could cure most everything – people are flawed.
Churchill was an absolute bastard. Everybody knows this.
coming from a racist piece of shite so sure!
Churchill was cunt to Indians and Africans despite all the help they gave to defend the empire in multiple wars over multiple centuries.
The best thing the British did was to throw him out after the war and put in a govt that created the NHS and the welfare state and dismantle the empire.
Gandhi might not have been a saint, but he had India’s freedom and peace in the subcontinent as goals he was prepared to die for.
Evidently he was disgusted with Gandhi presenting himself wearing Indian clothes and sandals.
Just as racist as when he blamed the 1943 Bengal famine on “Indians breeding like rabbits”. You need to be racist in order to justify colonialism.
WC is being rather charitable here. Gandhi was a racist, pedo, piece of shit who revelled in the suffering of others.

Obviously. Churchill was a known British Imperialist and Monarchical loyalist. He would have kept all British territories and never given them independence if he could, he also believed that the more territories the British have, the better the standing of the royals. News to me that he hated Gandhi, but not surprised one bit.
we all knew this
Did you learn this from his recent interview on GBeebies?
