This is such an excellent thread on the importance of recognising nuance in historical debate. It's worrying how often it seems there is a "right/wrong" way to view events and indviduals and that allowing for complexity is silenced with harsh words. Thank you Dr. Taylor!

Dr Victoria Taylor πŸ’›πŸ’™βœˆ All very sound. WSC is a fascinating character who like most people who live a long life found his views out of date and often had to engage in blame shifting/redemptive acts. Sadly X is rarely the place for nuance, as you've perceptively noted.

Dr Victoria Taylor πŸ’›πŸ’™βœˆ This. πŸ‘ Even the A Level unit on Churchill teaches students to study sources that show Churchill changed his own mind/ varied in leadership across 39-45. 6 years of war, each vastly different, with external factors and actors means we cannot have a fixed view on this complex man

I’ve done as I promised. From the day the Conservative govt announced their intentions for Scampton, I’ve fought their disastrous scheme. Excellent news for Lincoln and Lincolnshire today. Please watch πŸ‘‡

The Home Office has made the decision to end plans to house asylum seekers at RAF Scampton, the former Ministry of Defence site in Lincolnshire.

We actually could afford to buy it if every single one of my followers chipped in Β£200 - who wants to part-own a Spitfire with me?! πŸ˜…πŸ€£βœˆοΈ

I have had my five minutes of fame on Women on the Frontline. Bear in my mind I am beginner to this. It was a lot of fun filming and showing off some archival material, even if didn’t all appear in the final edit. channel4.com/programmes/ww2…
