Chapter 89:
February 26, 1940
London, the capital of Britain, the British House of Commons The dignified and honorable British House of Commons was in pandemonium, reminiscent of a marketplace floor with shouts being exchanged.
"Order, order!"
No matter how loudly the Speaker of the House of Commons shouted, the uproar in the Parliament, where the opposition and ruling parties were seated facing each other as if to encourage arguments, showed no signs of subsiding.
And the culprit who had created this chaos, Labour Party Leader Clement Attlee, was shouting while pointing a finger at British Prime Minister Halifax.
"British diplomacy is facing a total failure! What has the Conservative Party been doing all this time! The Spanish Civil War ended in victory for that fascist Franco while we turned a blind eye! In the end, after thoroughly neglecting our old ally France, the Radical Party lost power, and France's new prime minister is pursuing diplomacy with the fascists instead of us!"
Attlee, who had left-wing, anti-communist, and anti-fascist dispositions similar to the Social Democrats in Germany, fiercely criticized the Conservative Party regime for, in effect, leading Western Europe down the path of fascism.
"Nonsense! How is that the Conservative Party's responsibility!"
"Have you no shame!"
