Lansbury, George

Lansbury, George
(21 feb. 1859, cerca de Halesworth, Suffolk, Inglaterra–7 may. 1940, Londres).

Político británico. Como miembro de la Cámara de los Comunes (1910–12, 1922–40), se hizo conocido como socialista y reformador de la ley de los pobres. Lideró el Partido Laborista británico entre 1931 y 1935. De tendencia pacifista, no estaba dispuesto a pedir sanciones económicas contra Italia por su agresión a Etiopía (1935), temeroso de que esto pudiera llevar a la guerra, y perdió su liderazgo en el partido. En 1937 visitó a Adolf Hitler y a Benito Mussolini esperando inútilmente que su influencia personal pudiese detener la guerra.
