In no small part by recent Nazi Officers of some seniority, NATO was founded, 70 years ago today, to "defend" us against something that had neither the means nor the will to attack us, anyway.
That thing ended up collapsing exactly as and when sharper and less hysterical minds had always predicted that it would, and even that collapse was quite a long time ago now.
Our membership of NATO commits us to the defence of the Islamist regime in Turkey, which is the second most important member state in NATO's own purportedly strategic terms.
These days, it also now commits us to the defence of Eastern European neo-Nazis, with more to come. Latin American caudillos also stand on the cusp of membership.
And all for two per cent of our GDP. Liberty, indeed. What a liberty.
But woe betide anyone who dares to question this horrific state of affairs. Not even Jeremy Corbyn will do so properly anymore.
Another hung Parliament is coming, however, and we need our people to hold the balance of power in it.
It has become a local commonplace that I am on 30-30-30 with Labour and the Conservatives here at North West Durham, so that any one of us could be the First Past the Post.
I will stand for this seat, if I can raise the £10,000 necessary to mount a serious campaign. Please email davidaslindsay@hotmail.com. Very many thanks.
