Onward and downward Never mind the gridlock that has dogged the government during the Obama administration – what’s coming now will be deeply ugly.

The Experience and Memory of 11 November 1918

...public displays of jubilation became less commonplace. During the late 1920s and early 1930s, Britons began increasingly to view the war in a disillusioned light, and memoirs from this period often portray 11 November 1918 as a distinctly sombre affair.
