"Bloody Government"

Like an ethereal spook Lord Curzon, ex-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, appeared in order to demonstrate that he is not politically dead. Said he : "There is a Government in power which has only conformed to its title in so far as it is laboring in very deep water. The Socialist Government was going to give us the pure milk of Socialism, but so far the cow hasn't provided much beverage. In foreign affairs, the only thing the Government has done has been to sit in a friendly conference with representatives of the most cruel and bloody Government that Europe has known since the French Revolution."
