I think the poster proposed that Enoch Powell had a thing with a man, not that Winston Churchill did.
Enoch Powell is the famous anti-immigration prophet in England, and you can take him or leave him based on what he actually said (which I haven’t studied much) and how his predictions have turned out.
A case was brought regarding a young man who did not have the money or connections to get into the College. He was awarded a scholarship as a new application to open up the academy to lesser class youth.
There was a sort of initiation ceremony which involved Churchill and his upper crust friends. I have to be fair here. I will certainly delve into the matter with this great innovation, the internet.
I understand there was an enquiry and Churchill sued and won in court over slander. The slander was that sexual indignities were visited on the unfortunate youth as part of the initiation. It has been seen that these asinine practices still continue in certain Universities even in the United States.
I will not seek out the actual information before posting.
Young men are the same in every century.
Lady Astor to Churchill: “Sir,were you my husband I’d feed you a cup of cyanide tea every morning!’’ Churchill to Lady Astor, “Madame,were I your husband I’d drink it by the gallon’’.
Write off the UK.
Eric Blair was a prophet. He grokked the soul of his country.
Telling the truth will earn you a judgment far harsher than that faced by any liar.
