and then gave us a national debt that took the country over 40 . years to pay off . When you read the history of the lend lease we paid well for it , and I think if the truth be told in more ways than money

Re: I wish to god ? this government
Democracy in the UK is in danger of being killed off by those in parliament who are still opposed to BREXIT.
The referendum was won by one side and the result must be abided by.
The populous voted OUT of EU, not some cosy side deal to keep you in the club as a side member.
In my book out means out, and that is a complete out. Boris, like him or not from what we hear of him here in Oz he wants UK totally out.
He may not be the best candidate for PM, but he may be the one to get the result the people voted for.


Happy daze John in Oz.
Life is too short to blend in.

Well they should have maintained the armed forces then. Doing exactly the same thing yet again as they did in the run up to the WW2 stripping the armed forces to the bone. Plus the monies from the Marshal plan were not put to the best possible use.
