You mean the lad who was obsessed with the Dardanelles in the Great War? Quite unfit for office. Chamberlain is doing a top job. Didnt he negotiate the grand peace treaty last year with Herr Hitler?

Anyway if Chamberlain did go he be replaced by Lord Halifax. There is no circumstances where that windbag Winston Churchill will be allowed to become PM. Even if he did he lose any bit of a war that will happen like his mess up in the Dardanelles

While I have my reservation's about Herr Hitler and there is some disquiet about his treatment of the Jewish people( all made up I say and a thing of nothing) he is build Germany up into a peace loving and peacefull country.

Why would he cause any problems he have a hard job invading France defended as it is by the Maginot line. He be send running by the French Army by themselves with his tail between his legs

The British army would help out too. Not that they’d be needed of course.

If a war happened, the Royal Navy will clear the seas of German ships and no doubt. All the Kriegsmarine has is a pair of battle cruisers and few heavy cruisers but they DO have a stonking great big newly built battleship.
That’s it. The couple of submarines the jerries have are coastal defence

Hms Courageous and Glorious to use their airplanes locate any ships and bring in the fleet

The Territorial army may suffer small setback at the start but when it goes on the offensive it will mop old Jerry, after all we have tanks now and know how to use them.

The prototype of that device with the ridiculous name "Computer" will amount to nothing. We will keep on relying on the people in large rooms computing things manually for many decades to come.

Make sure you only use Knights of Colombanus certified canes. Some of those knock off ones barely break the skin

Just the German glider pilots practising their sport. Or night time airmail deliveries. Industrious people.

The CT people say it's Zeppelins scanning for magic radios that can see airplanes at night :rolleyes:

I hear the government's new housing plan aims to cut down average numbers to a room to 10 from 13 currently over the next 10 years.

Pretty ambitious.
