Some very telling quotes by Winston Churchill from his epic "The River War". Churchill also wrote "The Story Of The Malakand Field Force" in 1898. Churchill remarked on the fate of the traveller.
"At a thousand yards the traveller falls wounded by a well-aimed bullet of a breech-loading rifle. His assailant approaching, hacks him to death with the ferocity of a South Sea Islander. The weapons of the nineteenth century are in the hands of the savages of the Stone Age.
I have to smile ruefully at the politically correct attitudes of my own countrymen. Pretty easy to criticise I will admit. There was old Sir Oswald Mosley and his fascist supporters back in the 1930's. They were going to march in Dalston, London. It was into the Jewish district.
There they were, the hard nosed lads barring their way. Sir Oswald dressed like a police detective, peaked cap and all. Police had to protect his fancy limousine. The fascists did not make it. Today, many talk of old Uncle Bert or "my dad" giving it to the fascists, punching heads. This in the Cable Street riots.
Winston Churchill and his British army lads under his command, must be turning in their graves.
And now the Islamists of the 8th century have nuclear weapons.
Heaven help us.
