Wilfred Thesiger

Wilfred Thesiger, the British explorer and writer, was a private individual, and there is no widely accepted or confirmed information about his sexual orientation. Thesiger is best known for his travels and writings about his experiences in the deserts of Africa and the Middle East, particularly his books about the Arabian Peninsula and the Marsh Arabs of Iraq. His personal life and sexual orientation were not subjects he publicly discussed, and any claims about his sexual orientation are largely speculative and lack concrete evidence.

Bror Gustaf Hillgren, 'Nude Boy at the Beach' (1931)

Bror Gustaf Hillgren was a Swedish opera singer and actor. He was known for his work in the arts, but there is limited public information available regarding his personal life, including his sexual orientation.

“Are you the new recruit?” asked a heavy voice. 

And in some strange way, though there was not the shadow of a shape in the gloom, Syme knew two things: first, that it came from a man of massive stature; and second, that the man had his back to him. 

“Are you the new recruit?” said the invisible chief, who seemed to have heard all about it. “All right. You are engaged.” 

Syme, quite swept off his feet, made a feeble fight against this irrevocable phrase. 

“I really have no experience,” he began. 

“No one has any experience,” said the other, “of the Battle of Armageddon.” 

“But I am really unfit—” 

“You are willing, that is enough,” said the unknown. 

“Well, really,” said Syme, “I don’t know any profession of which mere willingness is the final test.” 

“I do,” said the other—“martyrs. I am condemning you to death. Good day.”

Jimmy Sime, 'Toffs and Toughs'

It's actually a nice picture, but it's hopelessly posed. Also, the title is made-up, and the only person in it who is still alive (one of the boys on the right) no longer wishes to be associated with it for the simple reason that he isn't and never was a "tough".

This picture has been produced again and again over the years by Marxists (both the ideological and the de facto sort), who hate Britain and hate tradition, as some sort of piece of killer evidence that Britain has (or had, before the Second World War) some sort of terrible "class system".

In actual fact, yes, this picture is hopelessly posed, and the only difference between the two sets of boys is that those on the left had parents who were rich enough to send them to Harrow* and the others, were pupils at the local Church of England school who had take the afternoon off to earn a bob or two by helping out at Lord's Cricket Ground. And far from being "toughs" they were perfectly respectable, working-class English lads who all went on to live long, full and (compared with those of the two Harrow boys) happy lives.

Again, the only real difference nowadays (because I don't think the school uniform at Harrow has changed very much) would be that the boys on the right would be of a different race.

And that of course is the main way in which Britain is now a more divided society than it has ever been before - just not in the way the latter-day Marxists of the media Establishment would like us to think.

So, leaving aside that nowadays the boys on the right would be just as likely to be beaten up for being "posh" (not to mention English and white) as the boys on the left would have been back then, the photograph is hopelessly posed and the title itself is both misleading and probably no older than 2004.

In fact the boys on the right are not "toughs" but pupils at a local Church of England school. They'd taken the day off school for a trip to the dentist and then decided to earn some easy money by helping out at the Eton-Harrow cricket match that was taking place at Lord's that afternoon. Sime has clearly, er, solicited their aid for his photograph (presumably for a small fee). And given that nice young Anglican boys would generally have been discouraged from walking around with their hands in their pockets, he's presumably also instructed them to adopt the poses their holding to look as if they're quietly masturbating. The two Harrovian* boys though just happened to be standing at the gate at the time waiting to be collected by one of their parents, and by all accounts they were persuaded to pose for the camera with neither their parents' consent nor any financial emolument.

The picture is of course well known in England, and a good example of indigenous English leftist propaganda - that is to say the lies we like to tell ourselves. It was first published in the 10th July 1937 edition of the News Chronicle, a leftist newspaper that later merged with The Daily Mail (which of course by modern standards isn't even considered leftist). The screechy agitprop caption read 'Every picture tells a story'.

The real "story" of the photograph - of the tragic fates of the two "toff" boys and of the long, happy, normal lives of the "toughs" - is now freely available on line thanks to dear old Wikipedia.

*Not Etonians, as countless hopeless American editors have stated, as if it were true.
