quite as eloquent as this speech.

If people insist on perfection decades of centuries after an individual has died, there won't be a statue left of anyone anywhere.

‘Churchill often made disparaging comments about Indians, particularly in private conversation. At one point he explicitly told his Secretary of State for India, Leo Amery that he "hated Indians" and considered them "a beastly people with a beastly religion"’

‘After 1920 Iraqi revolt against the British, Churchill advocated the use of gas against "uncivilized tribes" as a means of dispersing rebels without excessive loss of life or resort to lethal force:

I do not understand this squeamishness about the use of gas. We have definitely adopted the position at the Peace Conference of arguing in favour of the retention of gas as a permanent method of warfare. It is sheer affectation to lacerate a man with the poisonous fragment of a bursting shell and to boggle at making his eyes water by means of lachrymatory gas.

I am strongly in favour of using poisoned gas against uncivilised tribes. The moral effect should be so good that the loss of life should be reduced to a minimum. It is not necessary to use only the most deadly gasses: gases can be used which cause great inconvenience and would spread a lively terror and yet would leave no serious permanent effects on most of those affected.”’
