People need to learn history. The man that took an almost defeated nation, and raised it to victory over the NAZI’s, Winston Churchill. In July 1945, with VE already achieved and VJ closing in, he was voted out of office. In 1945 Britain had the second largest economy in the world, one of the largest fleets and most potent militaries on the planet.
Why? He was voted out because people wanted cradle to grave help, i.e. Socialism. The believed that Socialism was the way.
The voted in a guy by the name of Clement Attlee. The ‘Labour party’ (Please see same individuals who managed to bugle the recent Prime Minister and Quit today) took power on the promise of ‘Socialism’ and ‘gifts’ for everyone.
Now, Britain has the 5th largest economy, 10th if adjusted for purchasing power, with growth at 1% or less per year. Texas and California both have larger economies than Britain. They have an almost non-existent military, and military stores. Socialism has allowed for unfettered immigration, with rape gangs, welfare, unemployment, and essentially poor economic growth.
Socialism has taken at least one world power to it’s knees. Expect the same outcome, only faster, here in the US.
Not a big deal to them I guess.
