Welcome to Worst Hot Take of the Week – a column in which @MULLET_FAN_NEO crowns the wildest hot take of the week.
Reasonable take: People really do be not knowing anything about British history.
Brain worms: We should keep the statue of Winston Churchill up because he defeated "Hitler's extreme Left" – Norman Tebbit, for The Telegraph.

This isn't even the first time Tebbit has gotten annoyed at what he perceives as the “mislabelling” of the right-wing. In 2018 he scolded the New Statesman for being “at its old game of claiming that both Hitler’s National Socialist German Workers Party and Mussolini’s Fascists were extreme Right wing parties".For a man obsessed with the literal meaning of words, you'd think Tebbit would at least own a dictionary. Mussolini wasn’t even cosplaying as progressive behind leftist terminology, he straight-up called himself a fascist, and yet Tebbit’s topsy-turvy brain somehow manages to disagree with the cunt himself. I’m sure a series of "History according to Tebbit" books would prove immensely popular amongst British ethno-nationalists, who would love his jolly tales of how the Brits sailed across the seas, kindly liberating various countries of their burden of natural and human resources.@MULLET_FAN_NEO
