Jingo quotes

  • We don't want to fight, but by jingo if we do, We've got the ships, we've got the men, we've got the money too!

    - G W Hunt
      Music-hall song, inspired by Disraeli's speech of 9 Nov1876 threatening Russia with war if it sent volunteers into Serbia and Montenegro. This is the origin of 'jingoism'.
