Churchill and Riot Charge Stir London House of Commons
In the House of Commons Churchill noted higher unemployment in Britain than Germany. MP Will Thorne faced Westminster Police Court on a charge of inciting riot while addressing the unemployed in Trafalgar Square. He denied the charge, saying his speech was misread but that a hungry man may take bread. The magistrate ordered sureties for good behavior for a year and warned that such incitement threatens public safety.
