CHURCHILL WAS CONFIDENT OF WAR

This is why Churchill went to the beach while the German Ambassador to Great Britain never left London and worked to keep Britain out of the war, even offering Grey that Germany would respect Belgian neutrality (which Grey rejected) just as Grey was about to deliver his momentous speech to Parliament on 3rd August 1914, which was delivered after King George V had ordered Grey that Grey had to get Great Britain into the war.

Churchill sent the following telegram to his wife late on 28th July 1914:

My darling One and beautiful – Everything tends towards catastrophe, & collapse. I am interested, geared up and happy.

Churchill had earlier ordered the British Royal Navy to sail to its war base at Scapa Flow (without the consent of the PM or cabinet).

Churchill was putting on his butcher's apron.

So if on 28th July 1914 Churchill was confident (and happy) that Great Britain was going to war, allowing him time to go to the beach, was Grey feeling the same?

Why did the only 3 warmongers in the cabinet leave London for the weekend as things accelerated towards war, as Churchill knew?
