Uh oh Royals...………. could be the Russians

Britain's royal family is beefing up its social media operation amid a rise in racist online abuse targeting the Duchess of Sussex in the months after the announcement of her pregnancy, sources have told CNN.

Kensington Palace staff are devoting more resources to deleting comments targeting Meghan, and blocking abusive Twitter and Instagram accounts.

If Churchill hadn't insisted that Britain charge into Franco-Prussian War Two in 1914, there never would have been a Hitler in the first place.

Churchill altered the course of human history in 1914, but what did he win?

Empire; gone. Britain; bankrupt. Where is the win?

Frankly, If Churchill had sided with Kaiser Bill, who was the grandson of Queen Victoria, we could still be living in the British Empire now, which is everything that Churchill wanted.

No Hitler, no Stalin, no hydrogen bombs, none of it would have come to pass.

Churchill created the postmodern world, but what did he win?

What was the imperative to defeat Kaiser Bill on behalf of France and Russia?

The Germans were the most progressive of them all, first ever welfare state, far better life for the workers in Germany than in Britain, and it was the Germans who protected the Jews from the Russians.

Kaiser Bill was not Hitler. Where was the fire? What was the point? What do you win by fighting for Russia?
