He was a statist and did terrible things for the British Empire. His justifications are similar to those statists who believe that anything done for America's national interest is therefore justified. In the end, these are the very actions that bring down the Empire. He was a good orator though, you have to give him that. He also really did believe in his cause against nazism. The survival of the nation was at times in the balance, and it's hard to put ourselves in that mindset. In 1940 it looked like England was about to be overrun by some quite unsavory characters.
