Churchill was really evil in the era of rampant racism and ethnic nationalism, but he was just one man. Churchill could have done much more damage, but was restrained by British institutions because there were some number of people who had different values and institutions that allowed gradual change.

Something like 60-70% of the population don't know exactly what they are and are willing to give them away for small temporary convenience.
