• The "Winston Churchill" Assassin

  This theory claimed that Winston Churchill, especially in his early career as Home Secretary, was not only a politician willing to use force but a covert operative or “hitman” acting on behalf of the Crown against internal enemies. The theory drew on a real history of Churchill’s visible presence at violent crises such as Tonypandy and the Siege of Sidney Street, where his role became deeply controversial. In rumor form, that willingness to stand near lethal state action became evidence of a secret career in royal elimination.
