re: I Think These Words By Winston Churchill Regarding Nazism Are Appropriate For Today

The one-nation Tory philosophy of Benjamin Disraeli, and the subsequent defeat of the classical liberalism of William Gladstone by the Labour Party in the early 20th century, spelled the death of Britain. The one-nation Tories were large proponents of the British empire and favored no distinction between British subjects and British citizens. The Labour Party was a socialist party whose devotion to the welfare state was self-evident. Only Gladstonians had any semblance of anti-imperialism and economic conservatism, and they were largely gone by the early 20th century.
