We're often reminded that Churchill supported the ECHR or European integration more broadly, as though there were no better argument in favour or against these things.
For a bit of perspective, here's a broader list of stuff Churchill liked:
- "using poisoned gas against uncivilised tribes"
- the Gold Standard
- denying India's right to be independent
- using the army against strikers
- politicians issuing orders to the police
- the European Convention on Human Rights
- European integration
- imperialism
These people need some better arguments, or at least to explain why their cause gets to be associated with Churchill's admirable qualities rather than his flaws.
