    This refers to one of the most famous or perhaps infamous political moments of all time. Yes on this very day in 1938 Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain arrived at a London Airport, following a european summit, to declare the world a safer place. He waved triumphantly a piece of paper signed by one Adolf Hitler who promised no war, particularly no war with Britain ever again.

    Chamberlain was met by a jubilant crowd who were naturally enough thrilled by the good news. Huge crowds also gathered at Buckingham Palace to celebrate. People were tired of war, having trawled through the horrors of World War I a mere short time before...so were overjoyed at the notion of
    ..." Peace for our Time"

    But within a short year the dark clouds of terror and destruction were gathering over Europe. Chamberlain left office something of a broken man and died soon after.

    He perhaps typified the era of the amateur gentleman politician.
