Simon Jenkins Quotes

Every Generation Has Its War. I Have Just Been Reminded Of Mine. It Ended In 1989, 43 Years After It Began, The Longest War Britain Fought And Certainly The Most Expensive. Its Climax Was Total Victory. Yet There Was No Parade, No Medals, No Colours Hung In Cathedrals. The Cold War Saw No Battles And Cost Almost No Blood. Where There Is No Blood There Is No Glory And Hence No History. Asked What Did You Do In The War, Daddy?, I Could Say Only That I Paid My Taxes And Left It At That.
