Even worse than Chamberlain actually, declassified docs showed that he knew damn well it was a farce but played it up anyways for the sake of buying time for France and Britain to rearm without public scrutiny for risking another great war.
The reason it still ended badly is that time is a resource bought for both sides and the axis were far less concerned about public scrutiny over their own rearmament.
