Philip Guedalla Quote

Of Stanley Baldwin Government's attitude to the League of Nations:

There they sit, like inverted Micawbers, waiting for something to turn down.


In a speech at the Oxford Union, 1912


There they sit, like inverted Micawbers, waiting for something to turn down.

There they sit, like inverted Micawbers, waiting for something to turn down.

There they sit, like inverted Micawbers, waiting for something to turn down.

There they sit, like inverted Micawbers, waiting for something to turn down.
