Only idiots and Britain haters blame Churchill for the Bengal Famine

This myth only became popular in 2010 after a ridiculous book was published by a far-left journalist with no historical training

This is what REALLY happened:

1. A cyclone hit Bengal in 1942, destroying crops

2. They were already suffering from the worst rice brown spot epidemic on record

3. Normally in a famine grain would be imported from Burma, Malaya, Phillipines, Thailand etc. But WW2 ws raging and our Japanese enemy now controlled those areas

4. The Japanese had bombed Indian ports, which also destroyed grain

5. Shipping grain in was hugely dangerous because Japanese fleet was blockading the Bay of Bengal and sinking ships
Remember, the Axis powers were sinking one ship every day and had sunk around a million tons of shipping in 1942.

6. On top of that local Indian speculative traders were unforgivably HOARDING grain. With inflation rife, this was classic wartime speculation as they could make (and expected to make) much more money by hoarding rather than selling immediately.

7. Local government and administrators were slow to act and initially told the UK government there was enough grain in Bengal.
One can blame the democratically elected Government of Bengal, people like Huseyn Shaheed Suhrawardy (Minister of Civil Supplies for the newly formed Muslim League) and Sir John Herbert (the Governor of Bengal) for exacerbating conditions in the Bengal Famine. But not Churchill.

What did Churchill do? Everything he could.

Remember also, he was thousands of miles away in a different continent fighting the Second World War and preparing for D-Day.

Yet despite all his other commitments he worked hard to save the people of Bengal.

1. When the British government found out about the famine’s severity in August 1943, they authorised around 1 million tons of grain to be shipped to India between then and December 1944.

2. Churchill pushed Australia to send wheat

3. Churchill personally requested shipping assistance from U.S. President Roosevelt in April 1944 to transport it from Australia. Roosevelt declined, stating US ships were needed for the Pacific campaign and the upcoming D-Day operations.

4. Thanks to Churchill grain arrived from Iraq (barley), and Canada as well as Australia.

5. Crucially, Churchill was responsible for appointing the man who played such a pivotal role in stopping the Bengal Famine: Field Marshal Wavell. Wavell knew India and its people extremely well and was a magician of logistics. He drafted in the army to move food supplies and halted the famine.

Why are tax payers funding Helen Cammock's ignorant, anti-British propaganda at the @NPGLondon?

Otherwise known as the data is so bad it will generate horrific public backlash because the British state has wasted our money on an industrial scale

Observe and compare.

The murder of Jo Cox:
Murdered by a far-right terrorist.

The murder of David Amess:
Apparently, he just died.

@BuyEnglishMade In addition, my local deli is currently selling Colston Bassett Stilton, which I believe is highly regarded stuff.

@BuyEnglishMade I don't eat cheese myself but my wife favours Cornish Yarg.
I find it fascinating and encouraging that there are so many quality English and British cheese makers.

The ‘Stand up to Racism’ pro-migration group in the UK has used a picture of a little White girl with a Pakistani migrant in their campaign.

This is after hundreds of thousands of little White girls have been groomed, terrorised, tortured, gang raped & killed by Pakistani Muslim grooming gangs.

This isn’t just cruel, sick, deranged & twisted, it is EVIL.

I’m so done with this shit.

They are literally mocking & tormenting rape gang child victims now.

[Thaïs d’Escufon @ThaisEscufon]

My English-speaking friends, I need you!

The justice system in my country, France, would rather send me to prison than deal with the immigrant men who are assaulting us.

Please help spread this video, the world needs to know what they’re doing to French patriots!

You talk about communities

Most Muslims are not interested in the multiculturalism that the other faiths accept

They want uniculturalism

They want respect for their traditions, but show no respect for other faith's traditions

Please stop the cant

[Graham Linehan @Glinner]

Stories like this make me think that somewhere along the line, I actually died and went to hell. How did so many of my old colleagues and friends stand for this man against their own daughters? How could they happily see my career destroyed on his behalf?

This is demented.

@agraphafx Great scene from a great film.
I always enjoy watching the Excelsior crew bracing themselves for Trans-warp drive by bringing their arm rests in a few inches.

Buy foreign, and your money waves goodbye.

Buy English, and it stays to build the country you actually live in. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Small choice on your own.

Classic Konstantin Kisin street interview.

Bloke marching with a big sign demanding a “socialist intifada” for the New Workers’ Party.

Kisin: “What’s a socialist intifada?”

Bloke: “If I’m being honest with you, I just got this at the stand over there… I don’t actually know the definition of the word intifada.”😂🤣

Zero clue what he’s chanting for, but the sign looked revolutionary so why not? Peak protest cosplay.

The slogans are loud, the understanding… nonexistent.

Much love and respect to @KonstantinKisin @triggerpod 👊🏼

Right, time for the Truth.
The smoke and mirrors and blatant deceit going on in the asylum system is horrifying.
Nothing the public is told is reliable. Hundreds of thousands of illegal migrants are unaccounted for. Home Office hasn’t got a clue where they are.
Government is shovelling migrants out of asylum hotels and giving them money to find a place to stay in the community. Desperate to look like the backlog is coming down.
Asylum caseworkers are granting leave to remain to known sex offenders from Eritrea, Sudan and Afghanistan because they are not allowed to refuse applicants from those “unsafe” countries.
It’s a sick joke.
The safety of women and children is at risk and these bullshit graphs are shared to prove how things are improving.
Things are NOT improving. Asylum caseworkers know it’s a ticking timebomb. Another Belfast attack can happen any day.

It’s comforting that amid all the troubles in the world some Englishmen find solace and peace by sitting all day next to a static pump in a field in the North country.

Angela Eagle. 34 years of being wrong. 34 years of voting for every open-border policy, every EU power grab, every failed immigration scheme. She watched record boat arrivals on her watch and called it 'complexity.' She scrapped the Rwanda deterrent and replaced it with... nothing. She has never had an independent thought in 450 parliamentary votes. Not one rebellion. Not one principle she wouldn't sell for a promotion.

And now she's Security Minister. The woman who couldn't secure a border is securing the entire realm. The woman who never stood up to her party is standing up to terrorists. The woman who failed at every metric is measuring success for the rest of us.

This isn't government. This is jobs for the girls/boys who never questioned the boys/girls. 34 years of failure, rewarded with a Damehood and a promotion. Angela Eagle isn't a security expert. She's a careerist who secured the only thing that matters to her: her own advancement.

Tate & Lyle has been listed in London since 1935.

This week, it agreed to be taken over by America’s Ingredion for about £2.7bn.

The famous sugar business had already gone to the Americans in 2010.

Another great British name, gradually detached from Britain.

[Chris Rose @ArchRose90]

Horrific. A 30-year-old man has been arrested after attempting to stab a 17-year-old girl in neck in Burnley. Completely unprovoked.

Are we really going to accept that this is the new weekly norm in Britain?

This is not what a civilised, first world country looks like at all.
