"We shall fight on the beaches," is a very famous speech
delivered by British Prime Minister Winston S. Churchill to the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom on 4th June 1940. This speech is available (in capital letter) , on the web. Any attempt to deny or try to denigrate this speech is not only the height of ignorance but is shameful and is another attempt and example of "cancel culture," on this forum! Shameful!

Living with desperation and a mania to always have the last word as you do is not a pretty sight; and it is making you ill.

Is Mise,
The speech is regarded as one of the most rousing and iconic addresses of World War II. The power of the language is undeniable. http://youtube.com/watch?v=skrdyoabmgA Posted by Foxy, Sunday, 17 July 2022 12:43:22 PM

The occasional upper case word is acceptable for emphasis in lieu of italics that we don’t have access to on OLO. But about 70 words, one after the other, all jammed in a tight little column. Dear oh dear.
Churchill, no matter what he said or didn’t say (so much of what famous people were alleged to have said has been proved wrong: not quite right, or said by a different person), he didn't shout; his perfectly enunciated rumble was more than adequate. And something he wrote in calm, lower case, might be of interest to the poster and others among the chattering class that tries to cancel ideas the don’t like by echoing people calling themselves, or thinking of themselves as "experts".
Winston Churchill wrote, ‘Nothing would be more fatal than for the government of states to get into the hands of the experts. Expert knowledge is limited knowledge: and the unlimited ignorance of the plain man who only knows what hurts, is a safer guide than any vigorous direction of a specialised character.’
