How the resolve and character wane [English like that word].

A nation which lacked focus prior to WW-2..at least rose to the challenge of its rival...then went for the couch and tea cart after.
The way the nation dumped or dispatched Winston Churchill is telling.

Socialist Island..with a penchant for drama around that place they call..The Tower of London.

Colorfull entrepanuers like "Sir Bloody Walter Raleigh" eventuually were rewarded for their endeavors with a stay in the Tower...the collective gathering below..chanting

"Off with his head..off with his head".

The scene in the movie 'Robinhood'..where Morgan Freeman..the Saracen Muslim is freaking ouut..

"English..is there no damn Sun in this land"!

How prophetic [Sarcasm]

I get to chat with Brits alot on the net..common ground..my family has some famous types in the RAF..some Spitfire pilots ..Wing leaders.
Lots to chat about..but it all seems to be past tense.

It seems the Sun is setting on Britannia.

Why? Because they're not eager to send more of their troops off to another place? We haven't even finished in Iraq. There are still loads of options open to us on Syria.
