| The difference between a dog and a purveyor of EU revisionism »
We like First Post's format, which dedicates a concise web page to each article. It's reminiscent of those one-page memos or "prayers" that Winston Churchill demanded during World War II – "pray" do not send me a memo longer than one page.
In a recent article, First Post contributor Peregrine Worsthorne writes that he is appalled by the present quality of the British Parliament, the civil service and the political parties. He believes that the global economy has “creamed off the top talent,” leaving the skim for the British body politic.
We suppose this is possible, but even more curious is that many MPs don't seem to have grasped the fundamental principles behind the successful people and countries in the global economy. This despite the fact that most of those principles were first put into play by Brits. (Some of the innovators are described in the Ingenious Timeline.)
With Worsthorne and so many others 'praying' for good leaders, we hope a few will be arriving soon.
'And when they do arrive', Churchill might well growl, 'I hope you'll recognise 'em.'

Over the last decade I have come to realise how much of all I value depends on ideas and traditions nurtured by Brits. I hope you will be inspired by what you find in this blog/website, and that you will help us to make it grow in brilliance and depth by becoming a Friend.

Join the CIRCLE OF FRIENDS HERE
The best of the Brits produced thousands of indispensable inventions, developed wildly popular sports, designed romantic houses and gardens, created astonishing literary masterpieces, lived with style and humour, tackled dangerous missions with daring and ingenuity, and fought with indomitable courage to establish and protect the free world. We aim to describe their superb achievements and extraordinary lives. We celebrate creativity and common sense, fair play and compassion, bravery and self-discipline, rational thought, freedom, faith, and wit.
