Just been watching the Battle of the Desert.
To paraphrase Churchill... Are our affairs still being conducted by simpletons and dunderheads? Any featherhead can be confident when things seem to be going well. The test is to have faith when things are going badly.
Things were going badly, defeat after defeat, the humiliation of it all. The Americans eventually came good supplying new equipment, Auchinleck (a competent General) was eventually replaced by Montgomery and victory followed victory.
Who is our Churchill - Garlick. Is Garlick deeply involved in the planning and development of the team, is he competently steering the ship? What results is he demanding?
Where is our America supplying the big bucks? We have the red, white and blue, all we need now is the stars and stripes to go with it. Come on USA companies, support us with sponsorship.
Who is McCartney, is he our Auchinleck or our Montgomery?
The bells need to be ringing out a final victory in the west, long, long overdue.
