Order of the Boot
"Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time."
-- Sir Winston Churchill
This is a fairly well known quote, but what I didn't know was that Churchill said it right after he lost the July 1945 election near the end of WW2. He remarked "They have a perfect right to kick me out. That is democracy". When he was offered the Order of the Garter, he asked "Why should I accept the Order of the Garter, when the British people have just given me the ORDER OF THE BOOT?"
Did Churchill play an early form of Bloodbowl??
