If you know your....

....20th century European history, you'll know of the British Prime Minister who did a deal with Hitler shortly before the outbreak of WW2.  History hasn't been to nice to him, but I've always thought that certain factors are rarely considered.   Anyway, we're not here for a historical debate...... Clutching a piece of paper as he climbed down from his plane, he promised that it meant 'Peace in our time.' Ever since, Neville Chamberlain's tale has been a salutary warning on the danger of appeasement. Quite right too.






But an effort to avoid conflict is not always foolish. While it is possible to make one, make one!








Don't limit a child to your own learning, for he or she was born in another time.
(Rabindranath Tagore)
