Today is May 8th. A day when Germany capitulated. In 1945 that is. I read this today and found it really funny:
Why did Britain not become fascist between the wars? The obvious reason is that the British temperament is inhospitable of fascism. Fascism calls for ardour and common purpose, whereas the British are by nature disgruntled, unhopeful, individualistic and suspicious of ideas.
They do not like being organized, and they have a keen sense of the ridiculous, which is lethal to fascism.
One man rule has never attracted them. As early as 1649 they were obliged to chop Charles I's had off to bring this point to his attention.
