Braid for all Churchill did during the war years and his own personal bravery was a man for the times. After the war the average working man had no time for what he represented in a peaceful world, as was of the same old aristocracy of pre war years. He was a witty intelligent man but still of the old school, his aspirations and politics being alongside some of the American Generals, and proceeding to carry on through Russia was not very well accepted by a country sick of war. Instead apparently we got the brains trust which have left the country in what it is today. Its a pity a man like Churchill but with a few different workable ideas was not there ready to receive the reins. I cant think of any remarkable politicians since then apart from Enoch Powell who was on a hiding to none on taking on the Academia of the country, and our first lady PM who made her point at a low ebb by gambling Service peoples lives with a bare 50-50 chance of success and which she was lucky at, and was seen in a different light by most of us who had to sit at home with fingers crossed. I realize politicians are a necessary thing and certainly wouldn't like their job. However they chose it and should be willing to accept the responsibility for. The first thing people look for in any business transaction, and that is what giving power to someone through the election process is, is honesty. Looking back at what is coming to light re Europe shows that they gave scant course for the people to trust any of them. Whatever they say most people of our age take with a pinch of salt, the younger ones can be moulded in their image, the same as the religious ones of today are. Cheers JS
Mind you, Churchill knifed Poland in the back, and could get things hugely wrong, because of his ego. There was probably only one world statesman at the time with an even bigger ego, and that was Roosevelt. He truly believed that he could charm Stalin with his wonderful personality. Imagine Churchill stating in the House of Commons (February 1945) ‘Marshal Stalin and the Soviet leaders wish to live in honourable friendship and equality with the Western democracies. I feel also that their word is their bond.’ How wrong can you be? And who charmed who?
Got many things wrong, but the public read him as their hope to victory. He was successful in his own way. However what would he think of the so called European democracy which can never earn that title due to its set up. How many real democracys are there in the real world. JS
From what I read and know of it there is no way the EU could be seen as a democracy. One group of people in Brussles making rules for a number of countries all with different cultures is not democratic.
But like so many countries now Oz along with many Eu nations is headed towards socialism. There is every chance the Labor opposition could win the unwinable election this year. They will do so because we now have alarge number of migrants from socialist backgrounds who want the gov to do it all for them.
Believe there was a labour government in when I landed here in 1991 John. I got nothing, there wasn't anything to get. The working conditions however to what I left behind were highly preferable. Australians to my mind jumping from one working environment to another were not frightened to speak their mind and did so. What I saw of our own Industry in the UK was people running scared of their jobs and brought the worse out in a lot of them. However as I was in the lowest payed part of the Industry I had nothing to lose and spoke out often, a lot of people didn't like and still don't. Tuff titty. We were sold down the river like a lot of others, any one can even follow the trail of wreckage self inflicted by various eras in time, just by going through this site. This isn't theory is actual facts of what people did and accepted by some of the rotten core at the top and not in the middle. Think now I can see my term out without going to the workhouse but has been a lot harder than it should have been. When you look at the EU it bears a similar resemblance to the old USSR ( Union of the Soviet Sociate Republic) or for Russian Speakers CCCP. History has a manner in repeating itself and people wont see it for what it is. Hitler might have got there if instead of using the Slavic nations and world Jewry as an excuse had gone along the lines Europe is now going. Cheers Queers and Ginger Beers JS
Form your own conclusion
I hope everybody reads this and it sinks in!
This information has all been checked, then double checked... it is 100% Correct.
That's why there is such an alarm within US government, since Trump's statement about temporary suspension of migration of ******s to US
till US authorities make sure there is a proper concept of safe penetration of US territory.
People are stunned to learn that the head of the U.S.CIA is a ******!
Do hope this wakes up some! Read it again until it hits you like a ton of bricks, until you understand!
We now have a m***** government
John Brennan, current head of the CIA converted to I****m while stationed in Saudi Arabia.
Obama's top adviser, Valerie Jarrett, is a m***** who was born in Iran where her parents still live.
Hillary Clinton's top adviser, Huma Abedin is a m*****, whose mother and brother are involved in the now outlawed m***** Brotherhood in Egypt.
Assistant Secretary for Policy Development for Homeland Security, Arif Aikhan, is a m*****.
Homeland Security Adviser, Mohammed Elibiary, is a m*****.
Obama adviser and founder of the m***** Public Affairs Council, Salam al-Marayati, is a m*****.
Obama's Sharia Czar, Imam Mohamed Magid, of the Islamic Society of North America is a m*****.
Advisory Council on Faith-Based Neighborhood Partnerships, Eboo Patel, is a m*****.
1/13/15
Nancy Pelosi announced she will appoint Rep Andre Carson, D-Ind, as the first m***** lawmaker on the House of Representatives Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.
It would make Carson the first m***** to serve on the committee that receives intelligence on the threat of Islamic militants in the Middle East!
He has suggested that U.S. schools should be modeled after Islamic madrassas, where education is based on the Quran!!!
And last but not least, our closet m***** himself, Barack Hussein Obama.
It's questionable if Obama ever officially took the oath of office when he was sworn in. He didn't repeat the oath properly to defend our nation and our Constitution. Later the Democrats claimed he was
given the oath again in private.
CIA director John Brennan took his oath on a copy of the Constitution, not a Bible.??
Valarie Jarret wrote her college thesis on how she wanted to change America into a m***** friendly nation and she is a Obama top advisor.
Congressman, Keith Ellison took his oath on a copy of the Qur'an.
Congresswoman Michele Bachman was vilified and verbally tarred and feathered by Democrats when she voiced her concern about m*****s taking over our government.
Considering all these appointments, it would explain why Obama and his minions are systematically destroying our nation, supporting radical m***** groups worldwide, opening our southern border, and turning a blind eye to the genocide being perpetrated on Christians all over Africa and the Middle East.
The more damage Obama does, the more arrogant he's become!
Our nation and our government has been infiltrated by people who want to destroy us. It can only get worse!!
In his book he said,. "if it comes down to it, I would side with the m*****s".
Common sense doesn't grow in everyone's garden.
In all probability in 2039 there will be big celebrations in Europe to acknowledge the fact that in 900 years time Hitlers Grand Plan of the 1000 years Reich will have attained what he set out to do. Third time lucky. JS
#20. Would have thought Des in this day and age where a computer can beat the worlds best chess player that there would be no need to have so called brain boxes racking their limited brain power to pay the way for the country in the best manner. Just put all the figures in the machine and let it do it for you, or maybe that is what they are doing. I have a family member who worked in the Australian Treasury Dept. The actual ones who work on the figures to try and achieve a successful budget is not the Treasurer, he may say what he wants ( which in most cases is effing) but there are literally dozens locked away for days to supply the paperwork and kept incommunicado from the public until after release. Anyone that thinks any treasurer can sit and work out a budget is listening to people giving out the wrong message. Most of them are not even mathematicians and have no more knowledge that the average Tom Dick or Harry. So we are back to the buearocrats. However this shows also that politicians are dispensable and we are getting nearer and nearer to Dan Dare times where we are all run by a central computer. In the case of Europe though there will probably be a third world war to see where the computer is made so will probably have stamped on it made in USE (United States of Europe), Cheers JS
Two things run any country and to a major extent the world, power and money. Trump has to date had both but can he put it all to good use is the question? Only the rich can achieve the position of president in USA a bad thing in my mind. The average guy can maybe get into parliament with a bit of luck and the right connections. But in most nations of the west you need to be either a union rep, a lawyer, or worked as an advisor to a politician to even be considered for pre selection. The only way you or I could hope to enter would be as an independent. Such is the manner in which the 'club' operates.
Harry Clarke the x PM of NZ is attempting to stand for the position of sec gen of UN. She has buckleys, the Un is predominately a men's club and her comments that she will change it and bring it in line with the world today will do her no favors.
