Churchill was an alcoholic drug addict.  Are Labour perhaps slagging off Tone for his jet set life style ad huge property portfolio by comparing them?

When Churchill was fighting in the Boer War as a Subaltan,he wrote home to his sister saying that he had dreadful toothache. She wrote back enclosing Heroin,which was all the rage with the Hooray Henrys and quite legal as was Cocaine.He became hooked from hen onwards.

A popular musical hall song of the time,sung by a cross dresser named Vester Tilley entitled Champagne Charlie alluded to putting Cocaine on top of champagne and drinking it. Hence the nickname Charlie was born.

It was the time of the roaring nineties and Queen Victoria was at a wane in her power, as she was in mourning for Albert. So the parties never seemed to stop after a peiod of austerity following many Wars.
