More than 3/4 of a century ago, a conservative British minister - TopicsExpress



          

More than 3/4 of a century ago, a conservative British minister was caught with a guardsman in Hyde Park one February morning. Wanting to contain the scandal, the Parliaments Chief Whip reported the incident to Winston Churchill at daybreak. Churchill paused, then: CHURCHILL: Did I hear you correctly in saying that so-and-so has been caught with a Guardsman? In Hyde Park? On a park bench ...at 3 o’clock in the morning? CHIEF WHIP: That’s right, Prime Minister. CHURCHILL: In this weather?! Good God, man! It makes you proud to be British.
