The Cenotaph Today

[Scarlet Pimpernel]

No..but Churchill did not do that

His orders ensured that 4,000,000 Bengalis died from starvation, while food was diverted from Bengal and being stockpiled, just in case of.......
A British Prime Minister who prioritises the possible, over the inevitable.
A poor decision based on poor judgement in my opinion.

There are other atrocities by British soldiers

Endless examples from many nations,even today...Why concentrate on British?..List The Balkans,Congo,,half the world probably if you go back far enough

 

[Scarlet Pimpernel]

Not Racist.Food was short.Hitler was trying to take over the world...Bengal may have been next on his list!...

Food was extremely short in Bengal. Australia had sent the food aid to stave off the famine. Churchill commandeered that food for stockpiling in Europe, just in case......

Invasion was highly likely...Predicting 4M starvations was impossible

Because the atrocities of the British, the inglorious Empire, the continuing disease, starvation and third world status can be attributed to British colonial rule.

Many have argued that British business men should not be tarnished with crimes, because what they did were not crimes, in their day.

The Windrush generation came to UK when it was perfectly legal for them to come, and to remain indefinitely. But that didn't stop the UK government changing the rules, and backdating those rules for several decades, thereby making the migrants illegal, and deporting some of them to a country that they had never even visited.

Gammon hate thinks its ok to pi$$ on the pavement where a PC died horribly. What disgusting ****.

Come on then you LYING thicko, point out where I said it was Ok to p!ss in public. All I did was point out that you are quite thick when it comes to understanding English, and not complicated English, but words of just 2 letters. You're not just a LIAR but a thick IGNORANT LIAR.

Invasion of Greece, Yugoslavia?
Without a doubt Churchill prioritised the welfare of Europeans over Bengalis. His attitude was profoundly displayed by his explanation for his actions:

“People started dying and Churchill said well it’s all their fault anyway for breeding like rabbits. He said ‘I hate the Indians. They are a beastly people with a beastly religion’.”
​

He diverted food to stockpile, in case of an invasion, which lead to an inevitable famine in Bengal.
Do you think it is good judgement to prioritise the possible over the inevitable?
Even other politicians pointed out to Churchill the inevitable deaths caused by his decision.
What was his response? "Why hasn't Gandhi died yet?"

Was not inevitable.And if Hitler won 4million deaths would be nothing!do you think it good to feed 4million and risk,highly likely hundreds of millions of deaths??

Was not inevitable.

Other politicians of the day warned Churchill of the inevitable consequence of his decision.
