"You were given the choice between war and dishonor.
You chose dishonor and you will have war."
(Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.)
My Dad was a Traffic Warden for the last few years of his working life. He used to tell the story of being called into the Superintendent's office. He was asked if he had booked a a vehicle with the registration ^^^^^^^? he replied "Yes, it was illegally parked on such and such a street"! Back came the reply, "That was a special branch unmarked vehicle"!
"Well" said my dad, "They are the police and should know the traffic regulations"!
