For many decades, British society has been subjected to an almost continuous assault on our history, our way of life and our national institutions by the hard left. The centre and right became so demoralised by this highly successful campaign that for years their response was appeasement, the very policy Churchill warned against so frequently.

- For many decades, British society has been subjected to an almost continuous assault on our history, our way of life and our national institutions by the hard left…. the very policy Churchill warned against so frequently.
- Forced to confront the so-far largely unopposed aggression against the West by the Chinese Communist Party and Vladimir Putin’s Russia, we are on the brink of not just one but two cold wars.
- Standing up to their hostility will have to become the linchpin of a new grand strategy, comparable to the successful struggle against global communist encroachment over several decades…. If that is to succeed, we must see no more appeasement.
“This is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.” Winston Churchill’s words following the British victory over Germany in the Battle of Egypt in November 1942 might also describe recent political developments in Britain’s modern-day culture wars. For many decades, British society has been subjected to an almost continuous assault on our history, our way of life and our national institutions by the hard left.
The centre and right became so demoralised by this highly successful campaign that for years their response was appeasement, the very policy Churchill warned against so frequently when the fascist mirror image of this ideology threatened us in the 1930s. Now there are the glimmering signs of a fightback against the progressive liberal consensus that resulted, engulfing many mainstream politicians, the judiciary, civil service, much of the media, big business and education.
Do we dare hope that their is still a “Reservoir” of Patriotic Brits who can turn The Ship Of State around? When I attended School back in 1944 “Socialist” Teachers who had :Evaded” Conscription and supplanted Patriots fighting on the Front Line were already indoctrinating children into the “Benefits” of Socialism.
This Grew vastly under The So Called Labour Party none of whose Leaders had ever Labored at a “Real” job .They are just “Limousine” Socialists.
Over the years “THEY” the Ugly Sister of Communism and its “Fellow Travelers” infiltrated all the “Levers Of Power” including The Media, Clergy, Bureaucracy and even the Conservative Party but not very successfully The Military which I joined and served until “Invalided” out around 1960.
In 1965 I emigrated with my young family to Canada which was still had a Bastion of Political Balance. This Crumbled in 1968 when a Quasi Communist name of Trudeau was able to “Graduate” from the Extreme Left to Liberal Prime Minister by virtue of courting and Marrying the most influential Liberal Senators
very Naive daughter.
Canada has never been the same as Lefties under Trudeau infiltrated all The Organs Of Power, and now he is Reincarnated in his “Questionable” son
who has moved the Liberals to the Left of the traditional Left “Limousine” Socialists. They control of all licensed Media and have stacked it with Leftie so called Journalists thereby ensuring The Public has No opposing points of view.
Hopefully another “TRUMP” victory will awaken Patriots everywhere to emulate his agenda in many other Countries!
If they don’t then we are fast headed for a time that will make “The Dark Ages” seem like a walk in the park!
