What is the percentage of ROP citizen in Great Britain now? Maybe they are just taking their cues from the president of Iran and disbelieving anything to do with WWII.

I bet you 90% of Brits believe Christ never existed. Welcome to post-modern ignorance.

Sounds about like the approximate number of Islamics that have moved into Great Britian. Add that to their liberal education system and there is no surprise here...only sorrow.

LOL. Perhaps the 23% of those polled were composed mostly of immigrants.

If Al Gore can’t prove that Churchill existed, then what right have you to say otherwise?

Well, looking at pathetic Britain now, who would think that they had such a great leader only sixty years ago?

I wouldn’t assume the poll was of Westerners, just because they were British.

In contrast, a majority -- 58% -- believed that Sherlock Holmes was in fact a real person

He wasn't?

How about Dr. Watson?

I mean, what more does a man have to do to gain some measure of immortality?

Make a bad propaganda movie for nonexistent science, then win a Nobel Prize and Academy Award.

Gee. I guess since I can remember Churchill being PM, it’ll be ‘off to the camps’ for me.

If the Duke of Wellington was mythical, who do they think invented Wellington boots? They really exist.

I remember once when Jay Leno asked someone in L.A. what the large body of water nearby was and the guy said "the Atlantic Ocean."

I recall reading here on FR not long ago (last fall, perhaps) that British history books used in the government school system no longer even mention Churchill. How they can cover WWII without mentioning him is beyond me, but he was apparently eliminated because he is not popular with Muslims and is considered “divisive.” If you will recall, Churchill had some very accurate words about Islam and its effect on the world...

This poll says something interesting about people beyond “gosh they’re dumb”. If you slowly allow the freedoms that great leaders like Churchill fought for to be taken from you bit by bit, the sacrifices of those leaders and the people that served with them become irrelevant. Churchill was real then...but he isn’t now because the people carrying his legacy are throwing it away.

Examining the state of the GOP leads me to think that Ronald Reagan never existed either...

Wanna bet that half of black Americans cannot say who Lincoln was or what he contributed to their history?

And we wonder why Ron Paul gets 10 percent support here.

I just Amazon-ordered a pair of CDs with speeches of Winston Churchill.

So, either I shouldn't expect to get them, or should immediately throw the fabrications away?

Down the memory hole. I guess the Holmes numbers illustrates the potency of pop culture more than anything else.

The Brits are falling off the map. They, who once was one of the most powerful empires on the planet, now rate about the level of Bangladesh. A county of idiots. A country of losers. Turning their country over to a bunch of Islamic murderers. Enjoy limies. You are soon to be nonexistent.

Probably younger people who could care less about history and think WWII was just something that happened to Grandpa.
