So why are we celebrating it today?
I'm guessing it may be "Deliverance"
Or could it be A, B, and C days all went horribly wrong and the less said about them the better?!
edit: I did a quick search and answered my own question - "Departure"Work in the public sector? Read the IR35 FAQ hereComment

Originally posted by Zigenare View PostHere is his speech verbatim...
Winston Churchill, speech delivered at the University of Zurich, 19 September 1946
Would you care to show me where he advocates Great Britain becoming a member?
October 1948, at a Conservative Mass Meeting at Llandudno,
August 1949, at the first meeting of the Council of Europe in Strasbourg
November 1949, at a speech given for the European Movement at Kingsway Hall, London
1950, Churchill called for the creation of a European Army
...and yet the speech you quote is from 1946 in Zurich.
In fact reading what you call "his speech verbatim" it doesn't contain the line
Even though large tracts of Europe and many old and famous States have fallen or may fall into the grip of the Gestapo and all the odious apparatus of Nazi rule, we shall not flag or fail.…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

Does that mean he never said "We shall fight them on the beaches", because it's not in a speech given in Switzerland?Comment
