Hang Churchill

From The Call, paper of the British Socialist Party, January 29 1920

UNDOUBTEDLY one of the most reactionary, warlike and imperialist members of the cabinet is the villain Churchill ... who callously sent thousands of the bravest of men to their deaths at Antwerp and Gallipoli, and who is mainly responsible for continuing the attack on Russia, with its daily death toll of killed and wounded, British as well as Russian ... If ever a man deserved to hang for crimes against the commonwealth, that man is Winston Churchill, secretary for war in the British cabinet ... As a rule we are more concerned with attacking the capitalist system rather than any particular member of it, but we make an exception in the case of this man. Impeach Churchill! He should be arrested at once. Away with him to the common felon’s cell.
