I guess such a nimble square dance must be the new definition of “Elan”…

Pepperidge Farms remembers.

thatcher delivered three elections to the Tories, yet they stabbed her in the back,
over a poll tax, within a few years they were out of power,

Cool Britannia, in many ways, remade Britain not for the better, in part thanks to the Murdoch’s they seemingly discarded some of their leftist, but that was only skin deep,

in the interim period was the rise of Londinistan which expanded into other provinces now in the Midlands,

Another really good read on this is “A Peace to End All Peace” by Fromkin.

An interesting side story in the book is how (very reminiscent of Trump) Churchill was despised by the mainstream ruling class, was overly blamed for Gallipoli (his military advice was not followed), and got pushed out of power. He made a modest comeback though. 🙂

The british should have remembered their experiencs with wahhabis in india it cost them at least one governor general

So that they thought that the Hashemites would persevere, not realizing that the Wahabi were far more ruthless and ideologically driven (moreover, perhaps the Hashemites, depending on the Brits for promised quid-pro-quo support, were lulled into a kind of complacent false security).

And so the Brits had to make up for the “Protector of Mecca”‘s getting tossed out of Mecca. Oh, what to do, what to do… Hey, let’s divide up the Palestinian Mandate, create “Transjordan”—and Voila!—give it to one of the sons (Abdullah ibn Hussein) for a kingdom. Everyone’s happy!…except maybe the Zionists, but who really gives a toss about them…. In the meantime, let’s declare another son—Faisal ibn Hussein—King of Syria, another artificial arrangement lasting all of a year or two before HE was ridden outta town. What to do, what to do…OK, let’s move Faisal to Iraq and make him King! Brilliant…as it lasted a bit longer, several decades in fact, but also being an artificial arrangement, it eventually toppled…resulting in the of sequence of events that ultimately brought Saddam Hussein to power.

Improvisation on the world stage…while at this current juncture, one wonders whether the UK will even be able to sustain its own existence…

The arab league came later though one blames churchill because partition but there was no right way to slice that pie

The husseinis had their sinecure from the ottoman they werent going to give that up

Cf. “Seven Fallen Pillars” by Jon Kimche for a scathing dissection of British (AKA Chatham House) policy.

one might see how lawrences crusade ultimately benefited ibn saud instead of the hashemites maybe that was the intention of the foreign office all along
