War for the Soul of the British People
By Captain L. D. Gammans M.P.
During the past few week, we have suffered more setbacks and disappointments than at any time since the fall of France, but what has shaken me most is the fall of Singapore….
I wonder if you have heard what is happening in Poland? There men, women and children are dragged out of their beds and shot in thousands…
Don’t talk to me about the Black Marketeers; there is a far worse crowd than they, and that is the people who buy from them…
But I believe that before us lies the greatest task which God has ever entrusted any nation: by our courage, our leadership and above all buy our faith, to guide the world back to sanity, to liberty and to peace.
