“The Ingsoc generation.”
The same generation who dissolved the British Empire leaving the bulk of it to dictstors and that had food rationing scheme until 10 years after World War II? Those ignorant, useless bastards?
What are you talking about?
The British Empire was bankrupt in 1945 due to the war and Lend-Lease.
a large part of Truman and Eisenhower’s policy was de-colonization.
But more than that, the Brits couldn’t hold on to their empire - and they generally knew this and got out while they could still retain relationships with the ex-colonies. Witness how they left India in 1947. If they hadn’t, it would have been a worse Vietnam.
Then the Suez crises in the 1950s when the USA very clearly was AGAINST the Brits - the Brits knew they couldn’t hold on to the illusions of empire any more.
You really, really want to call the generation that fought the Nazis as, I quote you “ignorant, useless bastards”???!
