Based upon your post, I bought the book you mentioned. It’s still available from eBay, Amazon and probably some others. Although I’m a proud Yank, I have a great affinity for England and our English Friends, as I believe most Americans do, and when we see this decline across the pond it touches our hearts as well.
For me the book will serve as a reminder of what a great Nation and a great people can be as we, the ones who care, work toward stopping the cancer of Socialism before it destroys the United States.
Glad that you found that book Stoat.. there is some very interesting information in it... if you are a history buff like me. For instance most people think that wartime rationing ended as soon as the war ended in 1945...fact is that we still had rationing of clothes and some foodstuffs right up until 1952.
I distinctly remember when I joined the RAF in 1948 I was issued with a clothing book of coupons which allowed me to buy a small amount of clothing.
Of course this was only the essentials that were affected...housing was another thing entirely...basically there wasn’t a house to be bought even if you could afford it...guys returning from the war found out that they and their families were having to live in Quonset huts ..the kind they had just left in the forces.
Some thinking persons decided to build prefabs out of concrete with the utilities pre placed into them...these were only meant as a stopgap bt there are a lot of them still in use to this day. The book also talks about how the Labour factions and the do gooders managed to destroy the British way of life and lead us to the mess we are in today.
It is quite sad reading really.
