John Bright
The Quaker Conscience
19th century
About
Britain goes to war with wrong on one side and wrong on the other, and calls it a defence of civilisation. The Crimean War was a crime wrapped up in a blunder. Every subsequent imperial war has the same structure: manufactured necessity, false pretences, a class that profits and a class that dies. These are not our wars to fight. What war is being sold to you as a necessity?
