Its quite a mystery from our later perspective how Churchill managed to lose the 1945 General Election, considering his wartime leadership.
I remember asking my parents what happened - 1945 would have been their first chance to vote. All I could understand was that Churchill seemed to want everything after the war to go back to what it was like before the war. The people very much felt everything was going to be different.
Bear in mind that the people had felt badly let down after the end of the First World War by the economic hardships of the 20’s, then the Great Depression, and further economic hard times through the 30’s, culminating in a long spiral into a second war with an aggressively expansionist Germany.
And then they sign their national sovereignty away to the German lead EU, thank god you guys kept your own currency or Brexit would had been impossible, I don’t know how you see it but from over here getting out of the EU looks like the right move
Yes 100% - I’ve posted this before but anyone who doesn’t understand should watch this - Probably one of the last REAL documentaries the BBC ever made !
No surprise he did not respond, looking at his 50+ postings on this thread over just 3 weeks it’s just a lot of cut and paste and one sentence personal attacks of other members, I do not understand how Babypips can claim to have community standards and still allow someone to create an account just to troll one thread
One of my favorite ways to look at how we can see the same thing so differently is the old is the glass half full or half empty argument. Those who see the glass as half full tend to be Optimist while those who see the glass as half empty tend to be pessimist, being either or does not make you a bad person but it does explain why you see the world differently than others, we have a lot of that on this thread, here is a short video if you care to watch, I may give this topic its own thread
, nah he’s good
