  6. The enemy within put our country in its grave during 1914-19 It lays in Flanders fields 😢 Something DS will never admit too

  7.  @richardruff8712 The real damage was 1914-19 But you are right to say that the country socially and culturally was different after Thatcher We really became a vassal state in The American Empire

  8. The bow wave of 1914-19 is lapping at the shore Peter Hitchens A European war cannot be anything but a cruel, heartrending struggle, which, if we are ever to enjoy the bitter fruits of victory, must demand, perhaps for several years, the whole manhood of the nation, the entire suspension of peaceful industries, and the concentrating to one end of every vital energy in the community….a European war can only end in the ruin of the vanquished and the scarcely less fatal commercial dislocation and the exhaustion of the conquerors. Democracy is more vindictive than Cabinets. The wars of peoples will be more terrible than those of kings.” W S Churchill Your hero cheered us into a catastrophic disaster

  12. Deindustrialising the country is a major reason why government has expanded

  14. The Tory’s and Liberals in the Labour Party took us into the common market knowing that we’d lose our sovereignty

  15. The British still think this is the 19th Century Prof Jeffrey Sachs DS exemplifies this mentality as does much of the comments section by the looks of it

  16.  @OldMusicFan83 The Chinese didn’t come in the middle of the night and steal our manufacturing Our Oligarchs gave them our manufacturing and got even richer than before. And now that same mentality wants us to go to war with China Col Macgregor Ret

  19. Britain wrecked itself fighting wars it couldn’t afford in the first half of the 20th century America is doing the same thing this century Col Macgregor Ret I’d also add Col Macgregor doesn’t share DS’s love of Churchill

  20. I would agree with much of what you say But I’d add the real catastrophe to this country is 1914-19 Add the failure to invest properly in new infrastructure and technology to compete with Germany pre 1914. Re why Churchill (whom I do not like) left the Conservative Party for the Radical Free Market Imperialist section of the Liberal Party But it was the so called Great War that was the greatest disaster One that Churchill encouraged us to get into Something DS will never admit to

  21. Stop getting involved in foreign wars and stop using the intelligence agencies to destabilise foreign countries And wake up to the fact we are NOT a great power Re trench and come home and stop being a vassal to America
