“Most Britons still lived and died without encountering anyone whose skin colour was different from their own. Slaves, in short, did not threaten, at least as far as the British at home were concerned. Bestowing freedom upon them seemed therefore purely an act of humanity and will, an achievement that would be to Great Britain's economic detriment, perhaps, but would have few other domestic consequences.” StillsDifferentHomeWould BeHumanityEconomicAchievementConsequenceConcernedSkinsDiedSlaveBritishColourBritainGreat BritainBritish HistoryBritons Author:Linda Colley
“The next Prime Minister walking through that door will be me or Labour Party leader Ed Miliband, you can choose an economy that grows, that creates jobs, that generates the money to ensure a properly funded and improving National Health Service ... and a government that will cut taxes for 30 million hard-working people ... or you can choose the economic chaos of Ed Miliband's Britain.” PeopleHardGovernmentJobsNextGrowsPartyLeaderMillionsEconomyCuttingDoorsEconomicHealthHard WorkWalkingTaxesChaosMinistersBritainLabourPrimeImprovingPrime MinisterLabour PartyHealth ServicesNhs Author:David Cameron
“America, like Britain before her, is now the great defender of the Status Quo. She has committed herself against revolution and radical change in the underdeveloped world because independent governments would destroy the world economic and political system, which assures the United States its disproportionate share of economic and political power ... America's preeminent wealth depends upon keeping things in the underdeveloped world much as they are, allowing change and modernization to proceed only in a controlled, orderly, and nonthreatening way.” WorldWayStatesGovernmentAmericaPoliticalWealthUnitedUnited StatesShareEconomicRevolutionDependsIndependentCommittedRadicalBritainControlledAllowingStatus QuoPolitical SystemsDefendersOrderlyPolitical PowerRadical ChangeModernization Author:Richard Barnet
“We used to be so proud that our country offered far more economic opportunities than the feudal system in Great Britain, with its royal family, princesses and dukes.

“Germany's potential makes up about 20% of the EU's overall economic power, including Great Britain. The German army is by no means strong enough to guarantee the security of the EU's two endangered flanks - in the east and in the south. So all that remains for Germany is partnerships with its neighbours and other EU member states. Germany should stick to that role.” ShouldMeanTwoStatesEnoughStrongRolesEconomicSecurityMembersArmyRemainsSticksSouthIncludingEastGermanyBritainGuaranteesPartnershipStrong EnoughNeighbourGreat BritainEconomic PowerAll That Remains Author:Jaroslaw Kaczynski
