  • Learning about right and wrong from going to war

    17 JUN 2023 · In this episode I'll be discussing the concept of right and wrong from the perspective of the British political leaders deciding whether or not to go to war. I hope you enjoy it, and that it inspires you to think about the issue of war from a different perspective! On 29th September 1938, Adolf Hitler, Neville Chamberlain, Edouard Daladier and Benito Mussolini signed the Munich Agreement which transferred to Germany the Sudetenland, a fortified frontier region that contained a large German-speaking population. I know, not breaking news but bear with me. When Eduard Benes, Czechoslovakia's head of state, who had not been invited to Munich, protested at this decision, Chamberlain told him that Britain would be unwilling to go to war over the issue of the Sudetenland. The Munich Agreement was popular with most people in Britain because it appeared to have prevented a war with Germany. However, some politicians, including Winston Churchill and Anthony Eden, attacked the agreement. These critics pointed out that no only had the British government behaved dishonorably, but it had lost the support of Czech Army, one of the best in Europe. One staunch critic of appeasement was the journalist Vernon Bartlett. He was approached by Richard Acland to stand as an anti-Chamberlain candidate at a by-election in Bridgwater. Bartlett agreed and in November, 1938, surprisingly won the previously safe Tory seat. Henry (Chips) Channon , a junior member of the government wrote in his diary: "This is the worst blow the Government has had since 1935". In March, 1939, the German Army seized the rest of Czechoslovakia. In taking this action Adolf Hitler had broken the Munich Agreement. The British prime minister, Neville Chamberlain, now realized that Hitler could not be trusted and his appeasement policy now came to an end. Sometimes it is simply right to fight because the activities of a certain state can clearly be characterised, as in the breaking of the Munich Agreement, as wrong.

  • Climate change: whose fault is it?

    20 NOV 2022 · Countries have agreed a historic dedicated fund to help vulnerable nations hit by climate disasters, but failed to step up efforts to tackle the damaging emissions that cause them. The assumption is that C02 emissions by richer developed countries have caused the issues by effecting a change in the climate. But there is a real problem with this in that it puts the blame on these countries. Are they really to blame and if not who is? Many difficult decisions also remain about the hard-won compensation scheme, including who pays in and who is eligible for the cash.Campaigners have welcomed the move to support developing countries wrestling with the damaging impact of rising global temperatures, including extreme flooding, storms, drought and rising sea levels, despite having contributed little to the pollution that caused it.
