Rhetorical Power

This is about the time when prime-ministerial elections were about to be conducted in Britain in '51. I don't think you were even born, then, so you'll probably have to take my word for what happened back then. (Damn the Internet) A member of the Conservative party was discussing their political position with a member of the Labour party

"Ha!" cried the Labour guy "You haven't even got a half-decent candidate!"
" 'Course we do. And I'm ready to wager 42 shillings on him becoming the next prime minister!"
"Yawn" replied the complacent Labour. Actually, he actually yawned, rather than saying out the word, but it achieved the same effect.
As a reply to which, the Conservative member mounted his bike and sped away. But shouted back a sentence, which was heard as
"Our Lead: Winston"

PS: Though i do not pride myself on my knowledge of British politics, I fancy that Churchill did win, and the old Labour guy would've been wise not to stake 42 shillings

Once when he won the county's biker of the year, the presented to him, a special plaque. It read:
