“I do not admit for instance that a great wrong has been done to the Red Indians of America or the black people of Australia. I do not admit that the dog in the manger has the final right to the manger, though he may have lain there for a very long time.”

– Winston Churchill, UK prime minister and honorary US citizen (by act of Congress). Voted greatest Briton of all time in 2002 BBC poll.

@aral@mastodon.ar.al @Tooden@aus.social he was contemplating sending the navy to Liverpool to break the strikes too. Utter asshole of a person.

@aral@mastodon.ar.al he mostly shines in comparison to the other world leaders of the time. Which doesn't say much.
