Views of a British Workman
Views of a British Workman
"May I set forth the views of a British workman on the Suez problem, views which I find I share with most others with whom I come in contact? Suez will always be a problem whether the Egyptians are ruled by Farouq or Nasser. Most of them have lived in squalor since before the building of the pyramids, and have no desire to change their thieving ways, hence the ease with which Nasser leads them to brigandage on a large scale, and their outbursts of joy at its spectacular success, due not to any fighting qualities of their own, but solely to the British, or rather anti-British Labour Party and the U.S.A."
