      • 1941,George Orwell,The Lion and the Unicorn,Pt. II:
        The Britishruling classare fighting againstHitler,whom they have always regarded and whom some of them still regard as their protector againstBolshevism.That does not mean that they will deliberatelysell out;but it does mean that at every decisive moment they are likely to falter, pull their punches, do the wrong thing. Until theChurchillGovernment called some sort of halt to the process, they have done the wrong thing with an unerring instinct ever since 1931.

AndAquinascan say this...
