As for other websites they are far too many to list and often cover similar and very different topics, but some of my well visited (by me and other customers) can be found down the right hand wall.

And the same applies to civilisations. It's a depressing thought but it may be that western civilisation is simply worn out. If cultures go through a cycle of first barbarism, then civilisation and finally decadence then we're now a long long way into the decadence part of the cycle.<br /><br />This must be what it felt like to be living in Constantinople in about 1451 AD. Or Rome in about 474 AD. Just waiting for the end.dfordoomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02306293859869179118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-776872662073607566.post-57338433390280525012018-03-26T00:53:14.204+11:002018-03-26T00:53:14.204+11:00Hire someone?

The First World War destroyed Britain's economy. That doomed the Empire. Without the Empire Britain was too insignificant to maintain its sovereignty in the long term.<br /><br />And without the Empire Britain lost its pride and self-respect. It was forced (with a lot of encouragement from Winston Churchill) into the humiliating "special relationship" with the U.S.<br /><br />Without pride Britons lost the will to care about their traditions or their freedoms. They ceased to care about anything very much, except money.<br /><br />The men who built and maintained the Empire weren't focused on money. They had a vision. They had a sense of duty. A sense of mission. They had a belief in British civilisation, British justice, British traditions. All that vanished with the Empire. And there was nothing to replace it.dfordoomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02306293859869179118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-776872662073607566.post-32930603720487545012018-03-24T23:14:54.230+11:002018-03-24T23:14:54.230+11:00Things do.

Whether Britain and the rest of western civilisation gets up, dusts itself off, douses its burning underpants in cold water and revives, we shall see. There will be breakages.<br />Amfortashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07474382097575605017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-776872662073607566.post-10566732227312182792018-03-24T22:30:37.535+11:002018-03-24T22:30:37.535+11:00We have to believe that something will break for t...We have to believe that something will break for the better. <br /><br />Well, break anyway.James Highamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14525082702330365464noreply@blogger.com
