Hmmm.
I have been fortunate enough to have visited the battlefields of The Great War and The Second World War on many occasions. To walk the fields where our forebears fought and died on those many battlefields is both sobering and moving in the extreme. To then visit the many beautifully maintained Commonwealth War Graves cemeteries be it at Omaha or The Somme and walk among the lads from so many nations who died for their, and generations to follow’s freedom, defies description. The guys who jumped from landing craft at Arromanche or climbed out of the trenches at Thiepval 28 years beforehand had one thing in common - they were united in their determination to fight tyranny - in whatever form. Those who chose to ignore their sacrifice would do well to reflect - they did truly give their tomorrows for our todays.
Bless them all.

That is what I meant , some lefty will take offence.It most certainly is not racist, but some prat will take offence for sure!!
And now we're reduced to this:God bless you all, past and present, for all you did and gave for us who are still here.

Whatever Tim, just be thankful to those lads that hit the beaches and gave you and I the right to splurge on here.And now we're reduced to this:

Other thoughts, the BBC and political implants can be dangerous. Maybe.neutrality initially would have avoided Dunkirk and given us time to prepare bigger services, planes etc and then whack him harder and quicker whilst he was occupied in the East so that we didn't suffer those initial losses. Who knows?
