Only Merkel stands for moral principles
THERE is a direct parallel between Britain now and in 1806, when Wilberforce had been pleading with the Conservative government for 17 years to abolish the Slave Trade.
The MPs were genuinely puzzled why this man should keep on about people he had never even seen: ‘What was wrong with the man? He must be a bit unhinged to make such a fuss about a perfectly successful part of the nation’s economics.’
Some of them reckoned that they had guessed the explanation, that perhaps he had shares in some French company and, if he could persuade Britain to give up the lucrative slave trade, then obviously the French would take it up. That was as far as their brains could go.
Similarly, Britain and the USA are selling weapons to the undemocratic Gulf states today, so that they can kill helpless citizens in Yemen, without any pressure coming from the powerful West to coax Saudi and Iran to establish peace there. That would be a different manner in which to change the world, since we have so much influence.
We are making substantial profits out of mass murder, but, as Donald says, ‘You must consider the wages of hard-working families’. There is a word to describe Donald.
Only in one country is there a leader who stands for moral principles, called Angela Merkel, who declares that Germany will not sell death for the helpless. How fortunate the Germans, to have such an inspiration! But it seems that all her voters cannot see principles.
