Who knew, eh?

sodomy or whatever it was. turning got chemically castrated, then committed suicide. churchill might have intervened and he didn't. what gives? :imitationgame:

[Ashberto]

about sexuality, do you think?

Handy chap to have about in a war, but let's not pretend he was anything other than who he was.

[Berni]

Also, everyone used to support eugenics and he never sent tanks against striking miners.

Other than that, your post is valid.

He was a fine statesman well before the Second World War.

"Lloyd George did not therefore invent the welfare state. As we have seen it was already very much in existence. But he did, along with a young Winston Churchill, refine the concept and drive it forward into the arms of the state"

[Ashberto]

Possibly a bit glib to say that 'everyone' supported Eugenics. We could also quibble about gassing Kurds but you'd probably say it wasn't that sort of gas.

There was no letter that he himself sent, although (Google tells me, must be true) that a letter asking for more resource was sent by all of them in Hut8, not just him - and he was already in charge.

Agree with other points btw.
