    Sir Anthony Eden and the 1956 Suez Canal Crisis. Shortly after Sir Winston Churchill resigned tensions in Egypt were growing between the Imperialists and Republican Egyptians. Gamal Abdel Nasser was appointed General of the Egyptian Army and then, in 1956 was voted in as the Egyptian PM. Nasser then fronted the recapturing of the Suez Canal from British and French control
    In response to this, Eden and French Ministers agreed to recapture the Suez Canal which meant going to War against the Egyptians, there was the stumbling blocks of the UN and Parliament, so Eden lied to both. The War was not a success and within a few months British and French forces were pulling out of the Suez Canal that was still under Egyptian control. Back in Britain fuel prices rocketed bringing back the fuel rationing (which was only abolished 4yrs previous), and protesters wanted Edens resignation. Harold MacMillan who was Chancellor at the time stood in full support of Anthony, until the war started heading downhill and MacMillan switched to opposing the war.

    I think it should be investigated if the English state now and then is legislated with the Bible written as a story. The word immunity (Latin immunitas, freedom from obligations to the state) comes from a religious revelation from the middle ages, most likely from a pope to become lawless, and which has since been rewritten into full immunity, personal and functional immunity (legally, cannot be prosecuted for criminal act) to the government for law decisions and actions. I also think it should be investigated if millions of fallen soldiers in the world wars were elected by the people. The political exploitation of the vital ecosystem has now led to forest death (force majeure) and the distance between the sun and Antarctica (the thermostat) is destroyed, how will it affect people's economy, etc?

    I think the Social Democrats Labor can be a consciously misleading party name with all parties belonging to the Conservative and Unionist Party, as current political democracy and socialism can only be about going more toward the middle, eg. Social Democrats Labor. The reason may be that the king (head of state) wants to govern the people with full immunity together with the Prime minister and government, parliament, with functional immunity, personal immunity for law decisions and actions, even with the misleading word professional politician.
