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
