Sir Winston Churchill had a phrase that he used at the start of each day and at the end of every telephone conversation: Keep Buggering On (Keep Plodding On if in the presence of a lady).

This is why I have unselfishly shunned greatness myself, for the sake of my own children’s sanity and health.

In honour of this endearing name engraved on the top of the cap of all the Heritage pens is the iconic sketch of “Pug” a small illustration that Winston often included at the bottom of his correspondence with Clementine. Also population control was a subject a certain climate change enthusiast-almost as old as the Prince himself was talking about in the 1970’s.

So, does he hand over to Eden, or Rab Butler (because Eden’s not so tickety boo himself at the time)? Philip was on active service for almost the entire Second World War, in several theatres, and as many tributes have pointed out, could have risen very high in the post-war Royal Navy, had he not been obliged to withdraw from normal service when his wife became Queen Elizabeth II. This fourth pen in the Heritage Series is available in four colour combinations: Classic Black or Bordeaux with either 9ct gold or Sterling Silver trims.Winston, now 78, loses consciousness, and when he comes round, he has very little sensation on one side, his speech is severely impaired and his heart weakened. Although one of his more tongue-in-cheek maxims the essence of it conveys something Churchill knew all too well. Prince Philip would have been within his rights to have been as glad if you’d never been born as you appear to be that he is now dead. Churchill had early misgivings about Russia, apart from the ones that he voiced in his famous “Iron Curtain” speech, where he spoke of an iron curtain settling on Eastern Europe. Even more fun are Churchill’s offspring: Diana, Sarah, Mary and Randolph – squabblers and alcoholics and casualties of never having lived up to their father’s expectations or name.

And I suppose when you have spent long months on North Sea convoys, with constant danger from mines and submarines, or dodging Japanese and Italian dive bombers, very few other duties will seem unbearably onerous.

A dude who lives in a palace and flies around in private jets funded by taxpayer money lectures regular people that they’re a burden on the planet. Winston Churchill, no stranger to genuine mental health struggles, used the acronym KBO, or Keep Buggering On. But then it’s him in warmongering, we’ll-fight-them-on-the-EU mode, who many – certainly Cameron himself – would see as the more Churchillian. Despite his misgivings, Churchill, “…never doubted that the Western Alliance would defeat Hitler and subsequently Japan,” and his vision was again clear. We shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be.

It can’t have been easy, for a vigorous and assertive young man, recently appointed to his first command, to take a more quietly supportive and limited role as consort. That organization took several months to perfect, but from his first days as Prime Minister and Minister of Defense he worked to establish it, and to create in the immediate ambit of 10 Downing Street an organization that would give the nation strong and effective leadership. In association with Churchill Heritage Ltd, Conway Stewart has produced the Churchill Heritage Collection, a series of limited edition writing instruments with designs inspired by the words of the great man himself. I can imagine the sitting rooms (or probably drawing rooms) of families with the names Churchill and Soames last night, with descendants gathered round to watch and the fury rising.Keep Buggering On” was a rallying thought delivered to both friends and family, and was abbreviated to “KBO” when in polite company. But Churchill didn’t let failure bring him down, instead he worked harder and later he saw that effort come to fruition when he became Prime Minister.
