Makes you wonder how in hell they ever had a world-wide empire....................
You know I read widly popular and classic Brit lit and watch Brit shows esp from 70s 80s 90s 00s
As I watch these shows and read the lit one can see how their thinking evolved through the two major wars, and the ending of the empire to the messes they are now.
Post war nice-ism, enormous reticence. ReWatched my favorite series …. the Morse, Lewis, Endeavor Trilogy recently and watched it with a special emphasis on the sociopolitical focus of the shows. Wow. The words out their mouths, especially in the latter series, it what has killed the entire island.
as I said on another thread:
Was watching DARKEST HOUR last evening about Churchill and the beginning of wwii.
All I could do is shake my head and think about to what end?
.................
The country lost too many men to ever come back whole. and now it is dying.
Churchill had blind spots...this was a big one.
