In WW2, Britain had many allies fighting against Hitler. If Prime Minister Cameron seeks to compare the times, today Britain is isolated when he speaks of: war in the global battle for prosperity.

Oop!

Evil empire based on socialism forming on the continent: CHECK.

Middle class being hollowed out globally: CHECK.

I don’t think it’s going to be merely an ‘economic’ war, though it will certainly start that way. The coming Japanese Hyperinflation will light many banked-up fires.

So, why "HITLER" all of a sudden?...

U.K. Seen Shrinking This Quarter Amid Triple-Dip Risk: Economy
Britain’s economy may shrink this quarter and the risk has increased that the country will succumb to its first triple-dip recession since records began almost six decades ago, according to a survey of economists.

Banks may shrink for good as layoffs near 160,000
A Reuters analysis of job cuts announced by 29 major banks showed the layoffs were much bigger in Europe than in Asia or the United States. That is a particular blow to Britain where the finance industry makes up roughly 10 percent of the economy.

UK finance bonuses to plummet as London loses ground
Yet the impact of the squeeze on the sector goes further than bonus payments and the researchers also said employment in London's banks, brokerages and other financial sector firms - collectively known as the City - will keep shrinking. They said this would allow rival centre Hong Kong to overtake London by size in the next three years.

Ex-bankers in London embark on new careers
"They were ringing people on the phone and telling them to go to the fifth floor. And they never returned from the fifth floor."

That’s the problem with socialists: They see wealth as a ‘zero sum’ equation. In order for someone to have more, someone must have less. When they run out of local ‘rich’, they try to conquer the wealth of another country.

The really don’t understand that wealth is created, and that everyone can benefit.

The world needs a lesson. It’s volunteering for destruction globally. In a future “green” hell perhaps 20-40 years from now $100 won’t get you a pound of coffee unless you grow it yourself. Everything civilized humanity strove for will be sacrificed on a sharia-colored altar of collectivism. I may well have lived the last good life.

I don’t think it’s over, I know it’s over.

It’s an insult.

A battle to fight for socialist programmes, excessive welfare, layabouts, state funded abortion, luxury items for prisons and disgusting expenses claims by the pigs in parliament.

We are royally screwed in this country, and it is because of people like David Cameron.

I despise him.

And just exactly what was the value of good and services the US donated to Britian during WW2?

And they expect us to do it again?

The war began in 1939. The alliance didn’t form until 1942.

The beginning takes a while

Jimmy Carter and MEOW - the moral equivalent of war. LOL.

Sad that the “conservative” here talks like a liberal of 40 years ago.
