In memoriam Sir Winston Churchill.

Today marks the 50th anniversary of the state funeral of Churchill. There's no denying the cigar toting statesman had his moments of wit ("I may be drunk, Miss, but in the morning I will be sober and you will still be ugly.") & rousing speeches ("We shall never surrender"), but he also, understandably, had his darker moments, fighting the 'black dog' of depression - a description which inspired Drake with the title of this song.

Now, with all the tributes and pomp & circumstance today, here's some quotes by Churchill they don't teach you in school. As regards his views on lesser races, Jews, Ghandi & India, the use of poison gas and his admiration for Hitler.

And an article featured on the BBC today detailing 10 of the most discussed controversies of his career http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-29701767

In the words of man himself - "Criticism may not be agreeable, but it is necessary"

As far as my own tribute goes...He was better than Stalin or Hitler. My patriotism doesn't run much deeper than that.

A funny thing I noticed today.

The beat from Radiohead's 15 Step (that one from the end of Twilight) sounds awfully similar to young poplet JoJo's Baby It's You (feat. Bow Wow) (that one that isn't the Shirelles/Beatles/Smith song)

I feel a remix.

For comparison:

From Aldous Huxley's 1946 Foreword to Brave New World.

The possibility of a sane society: "In this community economics would be decentralist and Henry-Georgian, politics Kropotkinesque and co-operative. Science and technology would be used as though, like the Sabbath, they had been made for man, not (as at present and still more so in the Brave New World) as though man were to be adapted and enslaved to them. Religion would be the conscious and intelligent pursuit of man's Final End, the unitive knowledge of the immanent Tao or Logos, the transcendent Godhead or Brahman. And the prevailing philosophy of life would be a kind of High Utilitarianism, in which the Greatest Happiness principle would be secondary to the Final End principle - the first question to be asked and answered in every contingency of life being: 'How will this thought or action contribute to, or interfere with, the achievement, by me and greatest possible number of other individuals, of man's Final end?' He concludes with this rather bleak vision of the future: "Indeed, unless we choose to decentralise and to use applied science, not as the end to which human beings are to be made the means, but as the means to producing a race of free individuals, we have only two alternatives to choose from: either a number of national, militarised totalitarianisms, having as their root the terror of the atomic bomb and as their consequence the destruction of civilisation (or, if the warfare is limited, the perpetuation of militarism); or else one supranational totalitarianism, called into existence by the social chaos resulting from rapid technological progress in general and the atom revolution in particular, and developing, under the need for efficiency and stability, into the welfare-tyranny of Utopia."
