Those of you who read my replies will know that if I'm not trying to help someone then I'm poking gentle fun at some of the posts. This is not a political forum and never should be. The government we get is the government we deserve immaterial of the alledged colour. The few people who replied before me are a throwback of the attitude of my generation who grew up with fathers and mothers who survived the war ( I'm the wrong side of 60) and as a nation then we took nobody's s--t, internally or externally but we have grown complacent and except for a few, just take it. Now we seem to live in a society with the attitude of "if it doesn't affect me then s-d it" and the way I see it, that's what's wrong, immaterial of who we vote for. The Merchant Navy never got the recognition they deserve either, but they like Bomber command and many others like The Bevan Boys are now an old embarrassment to the powers that be.
God bless them all.
Written with great Passion and Annoyance, and no apologies either,
