And here we get to the crux of the matter. You see him as a toff and how dare he be PM because of it.
That's one hell of a chip on your shoulder.
We had worked with the US in WW1, we had worked with the US before 1941 as demonstrated by the destroyers for bases and cash and carry agreements.
It was due to our relationship with the US, developed by Churchill and Roosevelt, that we secured food, oil and munitions from the US prior to 1940.
Roosevelt started work on the lend lease bill pretty much as soon as he was re-elected, oh when was that? Oh yes, 1940.
Too bad your education didn't cover that.
