War works for some people.
Like, war profiteers are a feature of every war, of course, but this is this kind of weird war where... Well, I'm hoping, and it looks like there's some hope that there's been a breakthrough today on that front.
I mean, I feel for the young men who are on both sides who are needlessly losing their lives, a bit like in our First World War.
Yes.
I lost relations in the First and Second World War, but I mean, those people, if they looked at Britain today or they looked at America today, would they be prepared to give their lives as they did so valiantly in the trenches in Europe and Gallipoli and other parts of the world?
And many of them, some of them were American people.
So would they feel comfortable?
I'm not sure they would.
And I think...
I've always thought that an important element of what made certainly the US and the UK successful was this Protestant ethic, this ethic of working hard, of contributing, of being part of something which is basically driven in order to create a better community.
And I think we've lost that ethic, and we've now lost sight of what we are, and somehow we've got to get that back.
And if we don't get that back,
I don't think the outlook is very optimistic.
I think it's not going to be good news.
Well, we're trying with Restore Britain.
We see a movement as being the key.
So the only way to, I think, show the sclerotic dying organs of power that they need to change what they're doing is for a mass movement to grow spontaneously, which we are seeing.
I mean, our social media recently has gone stratospheric.
And I think...
people can see that we are trying our best to highlight the deficiencies in Parliament.
