Feet of clay on a foundation of sand. Counts the ways that Churchill was a sociopath.
But he was "our thug."

It was just two aristocracies fighting each other. Churchill committed many crimes against humanity.

Extract:
As the resistance swelled, he announced [Churchill]: "I hate Indians. They are a beastly people with a beastly religion." This hatred killed. To give just one, major, example, in 1943 a famine broke out in Bengal, caused – as the Nobel Prize-winning economist Amartya Sen has proved – by the imperial policies of the British. Up to 3 million people starved to death while British officials begged Churchill to direct food supplies to the region. He bluntly refused. He raged that it was their own fault for "breeding like rabbits". At other times, he said the plague was "merrily" culling the population.
