    His concentration on party politics is a misdirection. Our democracy has always depended on a horizontal swing of left and right parties. This means that if all political parties failed apart from the conservatives then the conservatives would have to seek a new opposition to make them legitimate. Party politics make/made no difference once they reach office. How many opposition Lords did we see in the current Lords debate on the Trade union bill? 15 at most.The head of our state is the Queen who is an investor. This means it's always going to be investors vs workers in our system. That is the permanent factor. Investors have no interest in putting profits into efforts of equality through higher bottom level wages. This civil dispute has played out since the industrial revolution.

    Not much on the war itself.

      I meant that the title of the video or lecture is wrong - not much on the war, but a lot on what happened afterwards. But I'm interested in your comment about the Churcillian BS. Could you explain a bit please?

      @@Nounismisation Indeed BS, the interest in Winston as usual from academics, they quote him, you would learn something if they quoted Chamberlain as much.
