called  freedom  brought  for  Africans  since  the  1960s.  Nothing  but  dictators  and

               corruption  on  a  scale  which  is  mind  blowing!  380  billion  U.S. dollars missing in
               Nigeria alone! How are such things possible in the modern world? It will take a
               century  of  non-corrupt  (will  never  happen)  Government  to  rectify  the  rape  of

               Africa by the dictators.


               The  dictators  were  worse  than  the  British.  I  seldom  agree  with  anything  Mr
               Winston  Churchill  said  or  did  and  certainly  do  not  see  much  heroism  in  him

               either (a subject of delightful disagreement between my English clients and me)
               but  he  was  right  to  hang  on  to  the  Empire  as  long  as  possible  for  it  was  the

               Empire  taxes  and  trade  which  made  Britain  great.  It  is  ironic again for no-one
               did  more  to  destroy  the  empire  by  disarming  (Washington  Naval  Treaty)  and

               bankrupting  England  during  the  Second  World  War  than  the  very  same  Mr
               Winston  Churchill.


               In  my  opinion  President  Roosevelt  played  him like a badly tuned violin making

               America  and  Russia  the  new  super  powers  which  replaced  a  penniless  Britain
               after the war. Even Germany, totally defeated, split in two and occupied enjoyed

               a  higher  living  standard  quicker  after  the  war  than  Britain  who  had  food
               rationing  up  to  the  middle fifties ten years after the war was won. How is that

               possible I wonder?

               Great Britain was never taken seriously either by anyone afterwards which is sad

               for  they  tamed  Africa  and  did  much  more  good  than  bad  despite  what  is  said

               today or in the history books (written by long haired liberals no doubt). On  this
               note  these  days  we  must ask where  the UK will be without  America. Many say
               they should not  even  be on the UN Security Council but since the UN is a rather

               useless organisation anyway I suppose it does not matter. Who cares what they

               have to say or even give lip service to it?

               Where  will  America  be  without  the  UK  is  the  more  pertinent  question?  The

               relationship between the two countries is not an equal relationship at all. Simply
               put,  America  does  not  need  the  UK  and  I  am  surprised  that  no-one  since  Mr

               Eisenhower  during  the  Suez  invasion  (1956)  said  so  openly.  Hence  we  find
               British  Prime  Ministers  begging  for  a  "special relationship right or wrong" which

               is so wretched for a once proud nation who ruled the world. A nation who once

                                                                                                       106
