The British Government knew it was a load of nonsense and that Hitler had no intention of honouring that agreement.

This is absolute rubbish.

It was Churchill and his colleagues that formed the Army League, which kept the rearmament issue in the public limelight. Chamberlain was a naive fool, believing to the very end that, like a battered wife, everything will be fine tomorrow.

No idea what you mean by that, but I refuse to lower my standards of behaviour and succumb to violence no matter what is going on if I behave violently then I am no better than them being violent.

You witness someone suffering from the violence of others and you can help the victim but it will require the counter-use of violence. Will you walk away? Is that your idea of higher standards?

I am proud of the fact I have never had a fight in my life and that I have never given anybody reason to want to hurt me.

Wouldn't we all like to be so fortunate!

I read your response to Skybird. I wish I could live in your cloistered virgin world.
