YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

We often refer to the ‘uniparty’ that controls politics in this country. It doesn’t matter whether you vote Labour or Conservative, the results are the same.

But we forget we have had ‘uniparties’ before. The current and increasing impoverishment of this country began in 1945. When the Labour government created a state at least as socialised as East Germany (fortunately without the Stasi).

Winston Churchill had brilliantly denounced this in the run-up to the 1945 election.

But when he was returned to office in 1951 he accepted it as a fait accompli, and the results have been with us ever since.
