Quotes by David Stafford (?)

“I do not see how any patriotic men can continue to support a party which is kept in power by the unnatural combination of Little Englandism, disloyal Fenian Roman Catholics, Welsh and English non-conformists, Temperance fanatics, miscellaneous cranks, and traitors of the Keir Hardie type’,”
― David A.T. Stafford, Churchill & Secret Service

“Hopkins was powerfully impressed. Churchill, he reported to Roosevelt, was the government, the one and only person he needed to have a full meeting of minds.”

“Churchill worked hard to bring Savinkov to London in late 1921. It was not easy. Foreign Office officials regarded him as unreliable, even crooked, and refused him a visa. SIS chief Mansfield Cumming also declined to help, but Churchill leaned on his intelligence contacts in France. Before the Foreign Office had woken up, the British Passport Office in Paris had issued a visa and Savinkov was in London.”
― David A.T. Stafford, Churchill & Secret Service
