Stanley Baldwin on the English countryside (1926)

This is an excerpt from the speech British Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin gave to the Royal Society of St George in 1926. The words are as true and as evocative today as they’ve ever been.

I have just realized that that was prime minister Stanley Baldwin; who could imagine a current politician as deeply knowing?

I just caught the last glimmers of that vision before motor indusrialism blew most of that vision away.

Lovely.
Look at the state of it now and how England is being systematically destroyed.
