Winston Churchill would be today classified as an alcoholic....

Who was he sponging off of?

Churchill fascinates me.  He was simultaneously the most suited person to the task of being a leader of the time, and in many ways ill-suited.  I think the movie "Darkest Hour" portrays some of that.

There’s a persistent urban myth that British radio actor Norman Shelley performed at least three of Churchill’s WWII speeches when Churchill was too drunk to do so himself. Shelly is best known for voicing Winnie-the-Pooh on radio.

So, if the myth is true, Pooh Bear had a hand in defeating the Nazis.
