The Gold-oil deal between Iran and India has made them sit up. If we are not csareful, it will be 1931 all over again and we will be the British Empire, all over again.
You are right on the money. I would have to do some research, but at some point I assume back in the 70s or 80s the British people faced an election like we now face,and they had a choice between a party(labor party)that wanted socialism (government control of healthcare and the key sectors of the economy and the conservative party that wanted the status quo as far as the economic system - free enterprise.
The people of England made the wrong choice and the socialist once in power started baby-sitting the people. Good for the first little while, but as history has shown us time after time, socialism finally proves to be a failed system and we have what we see in England today. It’s a total mess.
