Anger At Government Grows In Bombings’ Wake
September 8, 1940
LONDON (Routers) The new government of Winston Churchill, in office for a few scant months, came under fire today, after the seemingly senseless destruction of property and lives in the city by German bombers yesterday. Many are blaming the new Prime Minister for the bombings, which they view as a result of his stubborn support of an illegal war against Vichy France, and inappropriately aggressive policies against the misunderstood Germans.
“Under Chamberlain,” said one Labour backbencher, “we had peace for our time.”
“Now,” he went on, “under this new brutal and dictatorial Tory rule, Churchill, along with his poodle Franklin “Delanodamngood” Roosevelt, has brought this wretched war home to Whitehall itself, and ordinary Londoners.”
Yes, its satire but it sounds disturbingly like what some opponents of the war on terror are saying.
