Clinching it by George Belcher, WW1 drinking
She: Lloyd George says as we re a sluggish people. He: Not arf! Look ow we re slugging the Germans. A humorous scene in a public house showing a somewhat confused discussion about Lloyd Georges view on the drinking of alcohol during the First World War. He believed the consumption of alcohol among workers stunted munitions production (he famously stated the British were fighting the Germans, the Austrians and drink, and drink was the most deadly enemy). A number of measures were brought in to curb drinking including no treating rules and reduced licensing hours. Date: 1916

by George Belcher: A Humorous Take on Lloyd George's Views on Drinking during World War 1 This intriguing print by George Belcher, titled "Clinching it," offers a humorous glimpse into the public discourse surrounding the controversial views of British Prime Minister David Lloyd George on alcohol consumption during World War 1. Dated 1916, the image captures a lively conversation in a pub between two patrons, with one man quipping, "He: Not arf! Look ow we're slugging the Germans," while the other, seemingly confused, responds, "She: Lloyd George says we're a sluggish people. He: Not arf!" Lloyd George, known for his strong stance against alcohol consumption, famously believed that the British working classes were hindering munitions production by excessive drinking. In response, various measures were implemented to curb drinking, including no treating rules and reduced licensing hours. This print, however, playfully challenges Lloyd George's perspective, highlighting the resilience and determination of the British people, even during the challenges of war. The pub, a quintessential symbol of community and camaraderie, serves as the perfect setting for this humorous scene. The print's intricate details and expressive characters bring the conversation to life, offering a unique perspective on the complex social and political climate of the time. Overall, "Clinching it" by George Belcher is an engaging and thought-provoking piece of historical cartoon art, providing valuable insights into the spirit and humor of the British people during World War 1.
