  • Can anybody help me with a quote?

    There's a quote I'm trying to track down that I hope one of the
    grognards here can help me with.

    Wish I could remember the source of the quote - I know it was by a
    very well known person and said essentially that oIf Britain HAD to
    break itself - both financially and its Empire - one canAt think of a
    better reason than to destroy the Nazi Empire!o

    Here's hoping all of you had a good New Year - mine was certainly
    better than Christmas which for me was driving around town trying to
    find medicine for my flu-ridden daughter while the rest of the family
    stayed away!

    Sounds a bit like a Churchill statement. It might be a very short paraphrasing of this:
