À propos de cet audio

Sir George Yonge - aka The Lofty Twaddler - was so flagrantly (and hopelessly) corrupt, that he lasted little more than a year as Governor of the Cape Colony. But while there is much comedy in his actions (he was surprised when the Dutch objected to him doubling the tax on brandy, for example) Yonge also had a dark side: he was fired because of his involvement in a slave smuggling ring.
