He was the first guy to sell peerages?
Sorry, this poster is with Pinter, Pilger, et al on this one(see Torygraph letters). This man helped to balls up the Middle East with the resulting injustices and tradgies we see today, sold peerages for a song, professed admiration for Hitler, and refused to join Churchill's war-time coalition "beliving Britian's position was hopeless" (ref. Roy Jenkins, 'Churchill')
