Four stage strategy from Yes, Minister:
Stage one we say nothing is going to happen.
Stage two, we say something may be about to happen, but we should do nothing about it.
Stage three, we say that maybe we should do something about it, but there's nothing we can do.
Stage four, we say maybe there was something we could have done, but it's too late now.
Re: What is Britain had not entered WWII
Had it only held on a few centuries longer, eh?Would have become an autonimous part of the Empire like Australia.. give or take a few riots. I'm not a great fan of Britain's imperial past, but there may well have been a more positive outcome to certain world events (the chances are things would be worse, but we'll never know) had the honest Imperialism not been a casualty of the World Wars. Might be worth a thread of it's own. What if the European Empires were still at it?
When Adam delved and Eve span, Who was then the gentleman? From the beginning all men by nature were created alike, and our bondage or servitude came in by the unjust oppression of naughty men. For if God would have had any bondsmen from the beginning, he would have appointed who should be bound, and who free. And therefore I exhort you to consider that now the time is come, appointed to us by God, in which ye may (if ye will) cast off the yoke of bondage, and recover liberty. - John Ball
