Bloody Foreigners

[des506]

well what happened was.. churchill gave part of the allies's captured germany to add to to poland land mass to make up for the land stalin took. well stalin lied abt the polictics and kept murdering them.. and that is that... churchill never won the 44/45 elections becos during one of his rally speeches.. he said they needed some sort of control.. like a secret police.. like the gestapo... thats why he lost the majority of the votes, cos the conservatives i think(jeruselem) not too sure on english political parties, introduced the idea of fair shares.. and also breaking into the sacred ground of private property that can be sold.

The brits had (and to some extent still do) a double way if seeing themselves. With respect to WWII they like to think of themselves as the "little island nation that could" and at the same time still consider themselves as a colonial empire. After WWII they immediately went back to the colonial empire mentality and started to divide the territories with the other empires. How quickly the official reason to go out on WWII in 1939 was forgotten.

"...We had enough of the soldiers, your support no longer needed. Get you your army...."
Churchill to Gen. Anders, after the Yalta Conference.

The British have done some terrible things in our glorious history but this one is way off the mark Ink.

'Churchill alone pushed for free elections in Poland.  The British leader pointed out that the UK "could never be content with any solution that did not leave Poland a free and independent state". Stalin pledged to permit free elections in Poland, but forestalled ever honouring his promise.'

You had better put Schlowy's big colour book of WW2 back on the shelf   

Agreed.  BUT...the Poles were not invited to the Victory Parade in London.   However most of the 303 crashed the crowd and quietly observed. 

Also, Roosevelt had just as much to do with the Poles getting the shaft as Churchill did.

you could be right I was not alive for it, and I am not so narrow minded-gullible, that I believe what those who write the history say.

I will say this.
