I knew they were a set of bastards, but that takes some swallowing.<br /><br />How shameful.<br /><br />I remember reading somewhere, that some district official had sent a memo to Churchill when he was in government earlier on in the century. I think it was from what became Iraq. The official pointed out that if he followed the policy that Churchill had laid down, thousands of the natives would die. Churchill pencilled a not back to him. "I don't care how many heathens die" he wrote, "as long as the will of his majesty'ss government is carried out." <br /><br />No wonder there is a fair amount of hatred towards these islands from so many in the world... no matter what the fool Cameron might like to pedal about the respect Britain is held in.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-33389576648790585512012-02-17T21:01:23.111+00:002012-02-17T21:01:23.111+00:00I said that at post No 2 above.

When an El Niño drought destituted the farmers of the Deccan plateau in 1876 there was a net surplus of rice and wheat in India. But the viceroy, Lord Lytton, insisted that nothing should prevent its export to England. In 1877 and 1878, at the height of the famine, grain merchants exported a record 6.4m hundredweight of wheat. As the peasants began to starve, officials were ordered “to discourage relief works in every possible way”. The Anti-Charitable Contributions Act of 1877 prohibited “at the pain of imprisonment private relief donations that potentially interfered with the market fixing of grain prices”. The only relief permitted in most districts was hard labour, from which anyone in an advanced state of starvation was turned away. In the labour camps, the workers were given less food than inmates of Buchenwald. In 1877, monthly mortality in the camps equated to an annual death rate of 94%.<br /><br />As millions died, the imperial government launched “a militarised campaign to collect the tax arrears accumulated during the drought”. The money, which ruined those who might otherwise have survived the famine, was used by Lytton to fund his war in Afghanistan. Even in places that had produced a crop surplus, the government’s export policies, like Stalin’s in Ukraine, manufactured hunger. In the north-western provinces, Oud and the Punjab, which had brought in record harvests in the preceeding three years, at least 1.25m died.cynicalHighlanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06034325908473006163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-58174426470936473422012-02-17T20:42:48.501+00:002012-02-17T20:42:48.501+00:00Tris, don't stop when you are on a roll.
