Well said that man. It illustrates the difference between the largely corrupt governments that make these wars, for their own greed, yet the politicians who've made these decisions in the past wouldn't be prepared to fight or defend their own country as a serviceman themselves.
At least the Royals have always seen active service - had the balls to do so, not without some sort of protection I guess, nevertheless they've done their stint.
I personally at the moment detest all the Government, because no-one appears to have the spine to stand up to the EU (maybe UKIP I grant you), to prevent the further raping of the UK.
How much more immigration from the EU (i.e the expected onslaught from the Rumanians & Bulgarians) can our overstretched NHS,Schools, Welfare system, jobs market take?
It appears we have retrospectively allowed Hitler his wish. We are truly being (further) invaded and up to them legally by an EU dictat that we appear to just give in to. It seems we haven't the gonads to stand up for ourselves anymore. No doubt we are probably one of the biggest contributors financially to the EU pot as well. What do we get back from them - immigrants and their welfare bill that you & I pay for.
On a sombre note, a work colleague of mine (Bus driver as you all know) did his normal duty to Gunstones Bakery in Dronfield. He does this duty a lot - its on his rota.
The majority of the people who catch this bus are muslim/islam, & normally fine. Yet a driver, who is a familiar face to them as he does this service frequently, is lambasted by them for wearing a poppy. I don't know what happened after that, because I have not personally seen him to speak to.
Frankly I'm disgusted, and if I'm asked to do the same duty, I'll refuse.
I'm not racist, but I don't think its right when people are allowed in to this country, set up their own communities and dictate to us whats right & wrong. They are secular, don't integrate, dont want you as a neighbour, only their relatives, YET THEY GET IT (Housing & benefits).
You try being out of work and going on the housing list and see what they offer you. I tried it some years ago. I live in Calow. I was offered (eventually) Killamarsh or Eckington. Fat lot of use. Luckily found a job & still in same house.
I've gone off the point a bit, I know, but I feel strongly about all this, why should you & I ever feel threatened by others who are just skin & blood like us, yet antagonistic to a threatening level, when its questionable how & why they got here in the first place. Surely, us that were born here need looking after first?!
