    Organised criminal damage and hooliganism and you don't give a damn. It is symptomatic of the lack of moral compass in our society.

    From Churchill by his Contemporaries, edited by Charles Eade, 1954.

    Chapter 1, 'The Youngest Man in Europe' Pages 12 - 13 (on extract from linky):

    'During his final term he also plunged for the first time into public controversy. When the eminent moral reformer Mrs Ormiston Chant organized a campaign to exclude prostitutes from the bar of the Empire Theatre in Leicester Square, Churchill incited some of his fellow cadets to riot and pull down the screens which had been put up to separate prostitutes from theatre-goers. 'Ladies of the Empire', Churchill declared in an improptu speech, 'I stand for Liberty!'
