Still reading Fraud, Famine and Fascism. I loved this part: "In the subsequent House debate on July 25, 1934, the Archbishop of Canterbury ... supported Lord Charnwood by claiming a hearsay figure of 5,000,000 deaths. Government members shot down the discussion, partly 'on grounds that those who wanted to talk about famine in Ukraine were not noticeably eager to examine oppression in Germany or poverty in England'".
