Being an early specimen of this type of conversion no doubt she went through all sorts of personal hell . That again is not the point as there are thousands going through their own hells due to debilliting diseases of all types with no light or hope at the end of the tunnel. It is the idea that someone can use a memento given to her by the people of the country she resides in to try and coerce a government in to not giving another member of the public another medal . And using such for political purposes . JS
hi john sabourn
thanks for a clearer explanation,sadly political motivated actions are used in everyday life and todate they are being used to subliminally educate the masses, into accepting the insane as the norm.
so im now going along the sea front for a nice brisk walk.
have a good day.

Re: queens new years honours list
Malcolm Turnbull a past and much maligned PM has been awarded the highest honor for his efforts in brining about same sex marriage.
Pity for some he was not around back in the 60's the crews of some shipping lines may well have made him king.
Happy daze John in Oz.
Life is too short to blend in.
