The ignorance of back-benchers is bad enough (Kate Hoey and Sir William Cash continue to spout that the EU is undemocratic) , but that of the second-in-command of the opposition party is inexcusable. John McDonnell subscribes to the myth that Churchill "shot the miners" when it was refuted by documentary evidence a long time ago.
Even without that, Churchill's record is that of supporting British citizens, no matter what their status. Indeed, the charge that can be levelled against him is that he felt that non-Britons were, to use a Kipling phrase, "lesser breeds without the law".
