Here is some interesting info regarding 1943 and the SwineCunts.
"I feel enormous shame about what happened," Susannah Herbert tells me.
Her grandfather was the governor of Bengal, in British India, during the run-up and height of the 1943 famine which killed at least three million people.
She is only just learning about his significant role in the catastrophe, and confronting a complex family legacy.
"Some MP who has no colonial experience, who has no linguistic capacities, who has not worked in a political system outside of Britain, can simply go and inhabit the governor's house in Kolkata, and make decisions about an entire population of people that he knows nothing about."
At least three million people died in the Bengal famine and there is no memorial - or even a plaque - to them anywhere in the world.
Susannah can at least point to a memorial to her grandfather.
One of the policies he executed during World War Two was known as "denial", where boats and rice – the staple food – were confiscated or destroyed in thousands of villages. It was done because of the fear of a Japanese invasion and the aim was to deny the enemy local resources to fuel their advance into India.
However, the colonial policy was catastrophic for the already fragile local economy. Fishermen couldn't go to sea, farmers weren't able to go upstream to their plots, and artisans were unable to get their goods to market. Critically, rice could not be moved around.
Yep they simply starved 3 million people without so much as a "how do you do"
