Please note that it was The Financial Times reporting. It is always good to know who is saying what to whom whatever side one is on. I simply try to make my clipping illustrative of what is being said. This is the raw material of effective intelligence.

Winston Churchill was a great man; Neville Chamberlain was not so great. We should worry about Iran because - "If we know anything from modern history, it is that when fanatical tyrants pledge to wipe out an entire nation, we should listen." He even had the nerve to quote that Harold Macmillan line about the biggest problem in politics being "events, dear boy, events."
