Winston Nailed It

Describing the progressive wokesters and socialists who today bedevil our great land as well as their brethren who beset Britain during the Great Depression, the Claremont Review of Books quotes Winston Churchill:

There are downsides to any profession. I spent a career voluntarily working alongside such folk, calling them "colleague." It wasn't an easy label to pronounce with my tongue firmly in cheek.
