Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from England Hath Need of Thee The Government was in difficulties. There was nothing new in the fact, but that this Government, of all Governments, should be in difficulties that threatened its very existence, was a cause for incredulous resentment among its supporters. Taking office at the moment of one of John Bull´s cold fits, when the craven fear of being great impels him suddenly and wildly to divest himself, somehow, anyhow, of as many of his responsibilities as possible, it had come into power with the mandate - so it declared, and who should know better? - to restore to the rightful owners every portion of the British Empire that could conceivably be claimed by anybody else. As yet it had not set to work on Malta or Gibraltar, for the Eastern world had offered sufficient scope for its talents. Hence its difficulties. The chief merit of the policy of scuttle is its simplicity, the chief drawback its lack of finality, since, however fast and far and firmly you may scuttle, there comes a moment when you must either scuttle farther still, or turn and recover the lost ground.
