How else would you explain the behavior of the UK since WW2 ?
Very easily, with great motives as the liberal disease always starts out with, our post war government gave birth to the ‘welfare state’ with the aim of looking after our war heroes........it grew out of control as it always does and it has expanded its disgusting tentacles and near enough ruined out country.
Also, a bigger loss in previous decades was the decline of our empire.
Not looking argue, but speaking as Brit, WW2 was our finest moment in terms of the outcome, and of course oddly a great tragedy at the same time for the lives lost.
