Even though he was well aware that his Anglo-African audience was overwhelmingly Pro-British and Pro-Empire, Campbell launched into a vigorous denunciation of both the United Kingdom and the British Empire. Even though Campbell eventually denounced South African Prime Minister D.F. Malan and the White Supremacist National Party for, "the dangerous and suicidal plight of our country," the damage was already done and Campbell's speech was interpreted by his hearers as a defense of Apartheid. Campbell's audience also listened with mounting horror as he dubbed Winston Churchill, "a valiant but superannuated Beefeater," and Franklin Delano Roosevelt, "a tittering zombie," for having given Eastern Europe to Joseph Stalin during the Yalta Conference. Campbell also characteristically praised the anti-communist government of Spain under Franco.
