Winston Churchill indulged in the "gross
immorality of the Oscar Wilde type"
From the book: Winston Churchill: Personal Accounts of the Great Leader at War, by Michael Paterson
"The second instance was more serious and more unpleasant, for it resulted in legal action. Churchill was accused of 'gross immorality'. The trial of Oscar Wilde for a homosexual liaison had recently taken place, and the nature of this immorality was alleged to be the same." source
British gay rights activist Peter Tatchell writes:
"Others, like Winston Churchill, who had a fling
with musical comedy star Ivor Novello, appear to
have had only one-off gay encounters. Providing
these distinctions are made, the queer museum should
include them all." source
An article in a British newspaper reads:
"Somerset Maugham claimed that Winston Churchill had slept with Novello to find out "what it would be like with a man". Legend records Winnie's verdict on the effects of the experiment as 'musical'." source

my neighbour here in east london is an elderly jewess, she tells people she was in Aushwitz and she worked in the laundry and only stayed alive by making soup from the natzi soldiers underpants and selling this soup to the others as nourishment, is this true ?
ReplyIt sounds more plausible than many other Auschwitz survivor tales.
