Couldn't we just nationalize China? :hmmm:

When I become Prime Minister with a huge majority and popular support
I will disband the democratic process to ensure I could keep power indefinitely.

Home Affairs
Any sign of discontent or opposition would be dealt with swift execution or
torture. I would stir hatred against any slightly unpopular minority group
and then persecute them whilst appearing to my supporters to be saving
the country from said minority group.

Culture
All media, including TV, the internet and books would be banned unless it
was either made by people answerable to me or has been checked by
them.

Foreign Relations
I would keep most foreign relations hostile to keep the people united in
their support for me as protector of the country. If possible I would
enter a low risk, but protracted war, preferably against the minority group
mentioned above.

Economic Matters
All unions would be banned. Most business rules would be abolished,
especially monopoly rules. Service industry will be discouraged. Social
spending will be abolished with the exception of pensions and
education (Education falling under the same rules as media anyway).
Military spending will be increased many times over.
All national debts will be declared void.
20% of GDP per year will go towards my vast mausoleum which will
replace the city of Coventry.

@ August I sort put that into words wrong. I know that WWII was goona go down anyway. what i am saying is that we due to a public that largely supported not getting involved was a bad thing. If wed have said we in this too when England and France declared war in 1939 it could very possiably shortened the war by years. I mean the military knew for many years that some day we would fight Japan in the Pacific. And they also knew that sooner or later wed would have to fight Germany as well. So what i really should have said is that the general publics desire to "stay out of it" hurt rather than helped us.Bottom line to me is like it or not we are the world power right now and to have said power you have got to be in places. And I no dumb dumb either I was in the Air Force and the Army and have been overseas including Iraq. In fact Id say that being in the military over the years is what helped me to understand how the world works some say love everyone or just saty in your nation it just dosent work that way. the only way to insure that you are safe is to have your power on display where it needs to be.And we dont always get it right we dont always pick the right place the right time but you cant always be right. That is what got us WWII they let Hitler do things way back in the 30s they could have said hey buddy you better chill out but they did not. All things that happen in the world have an effect on the rest of it.

By the way your pic there you have the old kit when was that late 60s 70s early 80s? Hard to tell by the small pic. Looks alot like Grenada got a buddy that was an Airborne Ranger he was in that back in 83.

That was taken in '82 at Hanscom AFB in Massachusetts. I was stationed at Ft. Devens with the 10th SFG.

From the high chancellor : "England Prevails!"

"Remember, Remember the fifth of november, the treason and gunpowder plot. I see no reason the fifth of november ever should be forgott"

Consider your self on The List.

V: Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villian by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition.

The only verdict is vengence; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous.

Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it is my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V.

Evey: Are you like a crazy person?

V: I'm quite sure they will say so.:arrgh!:
