11th November

I think all the politicians (and others) dutifully wearing their poppies and pretending to remember our fallen heroes who defended our country from attacks by foreign powers all those years ago, should consider whether they are not being rather disingenuous in wanting to hand over our country to a foreign power tomorrow.

Well said JBR. Hypocrites! They are not fit to lick the boots of those that sacrificed all, only to be rewarded in return by treachery.
