Illustration from David Irving: Churchill's War, vol. ii: Triumph in Adversity (Focal Point, 2001)

The White and smiling face of wartime Britain     Churchill's people in the summer of 1943 are contented and confident; but the war has ushered in a social revolution for women. They are manning the workbenches and taking home pay-packets of their own; they have started smoking in public and wearing trousers, and cabinet ministers express concern about the British female's appetite for the Black US servicemen now flooding into the country (Hulton Archive)

Now spot the omissions from Coren's text, and the way he has trimmed the photograph:

 The White and smiling face of wartime Britain -- Churchill's people in the summer of 1943 are contented and confident, but Cabinet ministers express concern about the British female's appetite for the Black US servicemen now flooding into the country.
