Too simplistic for you?

The EU leaders are acting like our enemies, yet we should help them when they find themselves in trouble?

Are they doing anything to help us?

Are they doing anything to persuade us to work with them for the common good?

No. They are like naughty children who can't have their own way and so want to do all they can to punish us for our temerity in deciding to leave their corrupt and self-centred political organisation.

Narrow minded people will always think this way.

What makes it worse is that so many of them (certainly on here) exhibit such anti-British attitudes, they don't deserve our help. Let them help themselves... if they can. They've had plenty of warnings.
You seem to forget that it was the russians that defeated the germans. While the russian conquered berlin the americans were in the alps searching hitler. The english were loitering at the border waiting for the last of the polish in the british army to catch the bullets.
During the cold war moscow always had a hidden agenda. At the moment moscow seems to be waiting for brexit to leave the UK.

Re: EU Swindle Of The Century

I can't help feeling my family lost in the fighting for France etc will be turning in their graves at some of the posts on this forum. Yes russia helped but we gave a hell of a lot to the wars long before anyone else joined in, and russia only really got involved because germany turned on them, it was their undoing.

The UK was involved before russia because hitler turned on you before he did on russia.
The WWii cost 382.000 military UK dead, and over 10 million russian military dead.
Next year we will be remembering 75 years of operation market garden. Read what montgomery did to his polish allies fighting alongside him.

Indeed. As has been said many times, in 1940 we stood alone.

The Battle of Britain was fought only by British and British Commonwealth pilots although, to be fair, there were also other nationalities such as the Poles who escaped the Nazi advances and came here for their safety.

The*Royal Air Force*(RAF) and*Fleet Air Arm*(FAA) had included personnel from outside the*United Kingdom*from before the beginning of the*Second World War*and many served in the*Battle of Britain*in 1940. Many were volunteers from the*British Empire*[5]and refugees and exiles from*German-occupied Europe.

The RAF Roll of Honour recognises 574 pilots, from countries other than the United Kingdom, as flying at least one authorized, operational sortie with an eligible unit during the period between 10 July to 31 October 1940, alongside 2,353 British pilots. The numbers differ slightly from the participants whose names are engraved on the*Battle of Britain Monument in London, unveiled on 18 September 2005.

All pilots, regardless of nationality, who flew with British units during the Battle are known collectively, after a phrase coined by*Winston Churchill, as "The Few".
