That money went nowhere near any kids with flies in their eyes. The government got their cut though, and then used food as a weapon, literally as bait to capture rebels who were then abused
Again, lol, from your source. Try reading it yourself!
Then last month, a leading historian quoted in the piece, André Gerolymatos, held a conference in British Columbia on the issue, inviting one of the co-authors of the piece and some of the academics who had protested to the paper. When it was over, he sent me his analysis, based, he said, on British and American archival sources as well as memoirs and secondary accounts.
He wrote: “Did the British open fire on the demonstrators on 3 December 1944? The answer is no

I prefer to read history facts, not feels.
You don’t understand anything about geopolitics or history. You present an opinion piece from the guardian as some proof of something
You have a lot to learn.
Lol you’re right, he didn’t personally pull the trigger so it doesn’t count.
Did you even read the source you provided? The Athens police shot the protestors.
Bootlicker
When you resort to ad hominems, you have lost the debate. But I’m more than happy to trade insults, it’s good fun! You are a tankard. A retarded tanky.
You realise that communism had been going on for quite a while by then, and was clearly authoritarian. Russia turned authoritarian literally within hours of the revolution
Go learn some history
Churchill didn’t massacre anyone you plank. It was the Greek police. Read your own fucking source.
And yes, communism is bad, it’s failed in every single country that’s tried it with 10s of millions of deaths.
As Churchill said, Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others
Do you know what Stalin did with all the war heroes when they got back from war? Killed the fucking lot because he was scared they’d revolt.
Churchill’s actions no doubt had negative effects, but the net effect was good.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend, until the enemy is defeated.
There was no way Churchill was going to allow a Soviet base there. It would have been a massive risk to shipping channels and defence.

Scott Galloway has the right idea
Oh, are we gonna get into a pissing contest about which system of government has killed more people?
And why did he make that choice?
Churchill had little to do with it, other than not having enough shipping and having to prioritise feeding troops who were fighting Nazis at the time.
Also from your link…
The provincial government never formally declared a state of famine, and its humanitarian aid was ineffective through the worst months of the crisis. It attempted to fix the price of rice paddy through price controls which resulted in a black market which encouraged sellers to withhold stocks, leading to hyperinflation from speculation and hoarding after controls were abandoned. Aid increased significantly when the British Indian Army took control of funding in October 1943
Also helped create the UN, welfare state and a minimum wage.

JFC🙂↕️🤦♂️. Get a grip mate. You had a day to think about this. Your article is not a piece of peer reviewed history. It was rebutted by greek historians, why would they support a British pov? Are you actually retarded?
