02/12/23 Watching the excellent film ‘Munich: The Edge of War’ featuring a superb cast including Jeremy Irons as Chamberlain and Ulrich Matthes as Hitler signing the Munich Agreement of September 1938, (one year before Chamberlain declared war on Germany). I was struck by a remarkable echo of our leaders today.
I detected the same clubbishness, the same naivete and glib gullibility, the same old boy network in new clothes. Rishi Sunak is the odd one out but since he has transferred policy to Lord Cameron, James Cleverley and Jeremy Hunt the parallel pertains.
Lord Cameron is The Great Appeaser. He is the ‘clubbable’ sort who wants to get on with all sorts of people and will in due course sell our allies down the river, Israel, Ukraine, all a matter of time.
“I have a piece of paper from Herr Hitler,” Chamberlain waved the flimsy about. Is that not Lord Cameron to the life?
History has warned us in the most brutal terms. And still we learn nothing.
