Just to jog a few memories:

WE SHALL GO ON TO THE END
WE SHALL FIGHT THEM IN FRANCE
WE SHALL FIGHT ON THE SEAS
AND OCEANS
WE SHALL FIGHT WITH GROWING CONFIDENCE
AND GROWING STRENGTH IN THE AIR
WE SHALL DEFEND OUR ISLAND
WHATEVER THE COST MAY BE
WE SHALL FIGHT ON THE BEACHES
WE SHALL FIGHT ON THE LANDING GROUNDS
WE SHALL FIGHT IN THE FIELDS
WE SHALL FIGHT IN THE STREETS
WE SHALL FIGHT IN THE HILLS
WE SHALL NEVER SURRENDER

( Winston S. Churchill).

Foxy,
Is that why he looked so fit, from all this fighting ?

Watching a TV program tonight on witch hunting and executions in 16th and 17th Century Britain, all based on ignorance and superstition lasting 100 years, I hoped that the same ignorance and superstition that has modern hysterics blaming people for climate change doesn’t last that long.

Those on the far right calling themselves conservatives often confuse their right to free speech with them being hateful bigoted racists, wanting to exercise a supposed right to insight hate towards others they disagree with in society.

A crude attempt at cancelling can be the only reason for posting an irrelevant rant on Churchill fighting everyone everywhere - twice, in two entirely different threads.

Modern Cancel Culture is the same as it was 400 years ago, the one difference between the modern baying mob and the witch hunters and burners of old, is that the same brutal and permanent method of cancelling is not available now. But who knows what the future holds, as the hysteria of the weather warriors increases, and they face more resistance.

If you think that we are too sophisticated and enlightened to go back 3 or 4 hundred years, be aware that people back then thought the same things about themselves as we do now.

In another 400 years, if history doesn't continue to cancelled as it is being cancelled at the moment, people will look back in disbelief at today's behaviour.

Today at 2.30pm - Sunday 17th July 2022 there is to be:
A GALA CHARITY CONCERT FOR UKRAINE - at the
Palais Theatre, St Kilda, Melbourne.

It will be an Extravaganza of Ukrainian, Polish, Latvian,
Lithuanian and Estonian fold dance, music, song and choral
performances, including the famous, fabulous, "Lost Clog,"
(Pamesta Klumpe).

Tickets are available from Ticketmaster.

All proceeds will be donated to the "Ukraine Crisis Appeal."

Everyone is warmly invited to attend.

There are people in this country who refuse to be silenced
on the invasion of Ukraine issue. Including close to 40,000
Ukrainians living in Australia. People and their families who
have experienced life under the Soviet Regime know what that
means - and they just like Winston Churchill knew - that
liberty is preferred to the alternative - and it is indeed
worth fighting for!

Anyone who does not understand that - and tries to silence all
those voices - is not worthy of any attention!
