Fifth biggest economy in the world. Nuclear Power. One of the worlds best resourced and trained militaries. Inflation at 2%, Weimar Germany’s inflation was in the 1,000’s ! We are not standing in queues with a barrow load of pounds to buy a loaf . I can pull into a petrol station and fill up. Yeah, things aren’t great and will get worse with Labour, but the same as 1930’s Germany ?? Cheers. Not yet is what you mean…..there was a time when you’d have thought a bunch of fairly innocuous looking trainspotter types would not get long jail sentences for having or planning a protest in their own land……but hey, just look at us now !

The comparisons are all there, it’s just a fact. I agree we are not wheeling wheel barrows of money down to the baker for bread, but replace the baker with the electric company or the tax man ? You are a well travelled and knowledgeable chap mate, I’m sure you have studied the history of these things in depth……you may not see the same cause and effect as me, that’s fine of course Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I just can’t agree in the comparison between us and the 1930’s Weimar Republic in Germany . That was an epoch defining time, leading to all out world war. What we have isn’t going to have a knock on effect for the world. Its leading to what had been going on since the end of WW2 , the Suez Crises , the retreat from East of Suez, the end of the Empire, it’s what the politicians call “managed decline” ! I disagree with it emphatically, but both Labour and Tory seem hell bent on it ! 1930’s Germany led to a dictator trying to reverse Germany’s decline…..2020’s UK is led by politicians accelerating the UK’s decline. So Im sorry, but I can’t agree with your equating 1930’s Germany with 2024’s UK ! Cheers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Riots, police arresting citizens (subjects) for making posts on social media, no jobs, and overpriced housing. Is that what's going on in your neighborhood? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Heck, Russia was once invited into NATO. That wasn't what they wanted. Just so happens it's what Ukraine and damn near everyone else in Europe wanted though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
