Reply to comment by Electronic_Class4530 in TIL about the famous American novelist Winston Churchill who was the reason why the British prime minister referred to himself as Winston Spencer Churchill. They met on occasion, but gradually Spencer Churchill’s rise to power steamrolled the American into obscurity. by OneLastConquest

When he visited the US and addressed Congress he famously said that if it had been the other way around, his father being American and his mom British, then he wouldn’t be doing an introduction and they already would have know him well. Basically saying if he was American he’d already be running the place.
