Winston Churchill protector of the defenceless? Well that's news. July 20th 1911: nine killed in Llanelli, South Wales, three by soldiers' bullets. August 8th 1911: two shot dead in Liverpool. August 18th 1911: 50,000 troops are sent to London as workers strike. Who was Home Secretary? two guesses. Wasn't this the same Churchill who advocated the use of tanks and aircraft in Ireland during its War of Independence. Thatcher? Defender of the defenceless? Was it the same lady who sent the police in 1984 to break the miners when they protested against pit closures? Perhaps these two must have dopplegangers in an alternate Earth.
