An evaluation of the wider ramifications of history................................................................................

The advent of the BLM movement and the assaults, physical and verbal, on the visible evidence of the past

history of the British Empire had me considering a hitherto overlooked/ignored aspect of its existence, not

least with regard to its relationship with black (and other) lives during the recent past.

It is totally feasible to propose that had it not been for the existence of the Empire and its WW2 stand  - led and voiced by its pugnacious indefatigable spokesman, himself a child of its time, the seemingly unstoppable

forces of the Axis Alliance, with its rapidly expanding empire of slave labour/death camps and overweening

assumptions of racial superiority, embodied in the German Aryan brotherhood belief and in the "Knights of Bushido" in Japan, would have prevailed, to see the world fall into the abyss so graphically forecast by the

UK leader.  Add the situation in America: barely prepared and largely isolationist - and the Ribbentrop pact

between Germany and Russia during the first years of that monumental ensuing conflict - and it is all too

likely that the lives protesting on streets today would not be here now but eliminated en masse by a

practised  perfected death camp system that would have been imposed across what is now the emerging third world, used in victory as a source of wealth mined by disposable slave labour beyond any comprehension 

today in order to achieve the merciless ambitions of the victorious strutting masters of the world.

But in their way, for two vital years, stood the British Empire and its far-flung dominions...both of which

are targets for attack and ridicule today.. 

The wider ramifications of history are not always promoted but are still as important as those seized on today.

For lives to matter, they have to  exist.  There can be little doubt that the existence of the British Empire at a

crucial time in world history played an essential part.in ensuring the defeat of the foes who would have

arranged for the world to descend into the abyss.and bring it to a level of inhumanity beyond the worst

inventions of a perverted imagination.
