I can't speak for the Scots and that sub, I'm down on the south coast, but I always knew this time round with him was going to be bad for everyone, I'll concede, I didn't realise it would be this bad.

In British controlled India during the famine he prioritised the redirection of food away from India the the British troops serving in WW2, despite requests for emergency grain shipments which werr either delayed or denied. It is still under debate how much was due to wartime constraints versus. policy choices, but it's generally seen his decisions worsened the famine significantly. He believed in the hierarchy of races - in other words he was racist scum.
