Melanie Phillips 1940 edition

Very different is the lot of the unfortunate neutrals. Whether on sea or on land, they are the victims upon whom Hitler's hate and spite descend. Look at the group of small but ancient and historic States which lie in the North; or look again at that other group of anxious peoples in the Balkans or in the Danube basin behind whom stands the resolute Turk. Every one of them is wondering which will be the next victim on whom the criminal adventurers of Berlin will cast their rending stroke

So people who set out to invade countries, destroy property, rape the woman, kill the children, and murder as many innocent people as possible in the furtherance of the fanatical cause of their peverted ideology were merely ‘adventurers, and their actions simply ‘criminal’! Clearly, in Churchill's mind they would hardly even qualify for an Anti-Social Behaviour Order, when they're invented in 65 years' time. This man, who believes those "weasel words of appeasement", "to jaw-jaw is better than to war-war" should be arrested
