How interesting, I seem to remember you posting once or twice hinting that you don't like your fellow English people too much, yet there is some patriotism behind your response to Starving Steve.Originally posted by Mega View PostComment

Re: QE is KILLING the UK (BBC TV News)
I think the British were at their best in WWII and immediately after the War. I know that is a cliche, but I really believe it to be the truth.
When I was a small boy, maybe four or five years old, our family lived in Duluth, Minnesota. We were existing in an apartment house in the downtown there.
Our kitchen was about the size of a closet: dark, dingy, and depressing--- with barely room to sit at the small dining table inside the kitchen. There was an antique gas stove and an old depressing fridge. On top of that fridge, sat an old radio, rather large and made with tubes that always would burn-out. When the radio would work, we would listen....
The high-point of the day was sitting at the table with my grandparents, having dinner, and listening to Edward R. Murrow broadcasting from London. His programmes were about highlighting the news of the day in the British Isles and Europe, also the clean-up efforts ( of the ruble and debris ) from WWII.... Sometimes General Eisenhower or Gen. MacArthur spoke on the radio, sometimes John Foster Dulles, President Truman, even Churchill himself. But usually it was Edward R. Murrow who broadcast the happenings of the day to America.
To our family in Minnesota, the British were heros; so too, the Russians, the French, and the Canadians. My grandparents lost their entire family to the nazis in WWII, so the happenings of the day in Europe were of extreme importance in our household.
The broadcasts would begin, "This is London," or "This is what happened in London to-day."
In our household in the dingyist of all apartments in the downtown of Duluth, there were no stereotypes of the British. The British were allies of America, and the policies set in Washington and London were part of the hope for re-building a better world after the War.
So, excuse me if I may sound anti-British in my comments here, nothing could be further from the way I do feel. But while I felt admiration for the British in 1952 or 1953 or 1954 when I was barely old enough to feel anything about any nation, I am disappointed and befuddled by the British now. It would seem that to-day's English are another lot of people, far different than what they were in WWII and in the early post-War era.Comment
