One quarter of Brits think Churchill was a myth

In a recent survey, 23 percent of 3,000 people questioned thought Winston Churchill was a myth. Of the same group of people, 53 per cent reckoned fictional detective Sherlock Homes really existed.

Mahatma Gandhi and Battle of Waterloo victor the Duke of Wellington also appeared in the top 10 of people thought to be myths.

Imagine all 690 of the idiots who think Churchill didn't exist, in a room, talking about what happened in the Second World War. That's a surreal conversation I'd genuinely pay to hear.

    • If any of those 690 idiots happen to be reading this article about the 'mythic' figure of Churchill, here's a bit more information to try and show them who he really was...

      First sentence should cover it though:

      "Churchill was a politician and wartime prime minister who led Britain to victory in World War Two."

      I can't believe things like this, where do they do the surveys? Middle of Dartmoor? Outer Hebrides? How can these people have not heard of quite possibly the most influential leader Britain has ever had?
