No, I said they subscribed to the same beliefs. Churchill hated native peoples, was a vicious belligerent, such that he advocated the "gassing of native peoples." Churchill and Wilson both believed that white people were uniquely capable of self governance. And, indeed, Churchill had his fill with the Jews over Palestine, where he was an occupier and the Jews were fighting him. I have no doubt that there are books over amplifying some deed or two and a few conciliatory words, politicians do ALL sorts of things, good and bad that they do and don't agree with. They're politicians, and by normal standards, all would be craven. We can stand by our guns, but politicians MUST compromise on something, sometime.
