Churchill's speeches were popular even with those who disagreed with him because of their content I suspect it was because he wrote them himself and his own personality came through in them. Are there any political figures today who write their own speeches? I should be very much surprised if there were. (Personal note: when I was in the Air Force, once a month it would be my squadron commander's turn to write a column in the Base newspaper. I had the job of writing them for him.) Jonathan Hayes
