For what little that's worth. He was an utter bastard, of course, one of the worst people to hold that particular office in the 20th century.

(this, presumably, is what makes him an utter bastard, my note.) That's what sealed the deal anyway. A year earlier he ordered the murder of striking miners at Featherstone.
