Quote:One hundred years earlier the British treatment of rebellious 'natives' in India was pretty bad even by Roman standards.

Or elsewhere.
My favorite Churchill quote:
"I do not understand this squeamishness about the use of gas. I am strongly in favour of using poison gas against uncivilised tribes."
(Sir Winston Churchill, then British secretary of state for war and air, about the indiscriminate use of aerial bombardments and poison gas of after a countrywide Arab rebellion in Iraq, 1920).
