How moronic .... to view an opposition to torture as "noble" ... bs, it's all part of being human and humane ... and we follow this with a cheap cliche stolen from some third-rate marketing seminar ... and it is obvious that you know little of the time of "appeasement" ... this policy, particularly until late 1937, was supported, to some degree at least, by the majority of Conservative MPs, the Labour party (though they were opposed to the Fascist dictators as a point of principle, they were opposed to war), and the British public. Only with your keen hindsight can you see that it was wrong. Chamberlain seems to have become the fall guy for the millions of Britons who supported his policies. Maybe you meant to ask if I were related to Lord Halifax
