Re: Are we truly Free

I often see on here links to the Guardian.
Official circulation stats. see the Guardian languishing in the bottom three of UK dailies along with the

Re: Brexit fallout just gets worse and worse

Firstly , UK did not vote to leave the EEC, it voted to leave the European Union. Whereas IMO. the EEC was a beneficial trading block , the EU became involved in trying to control all aspects of peoples lives. The EU never posted a budget account, and millions of cash went unaccounted for. The commo...

Re: British Colonialism and Its Policies

I have visited the war graves at Kanchanaburi on two occasions

Re: Are we truly Free

Woke is the past participle of the verb "wake" .It is wrongly used as a noun to describe people who consider themselves ",aware". Aware of what I am not privy to that , but non woke people are branded " racist" and far right, not right but "far right,"

Re: Are we truly Free

Winston Churchill is quoted as saying "Those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat its mistakes" I mention this as it seems in UK, our history is being amended or denied by the so called "woke"' or "progressive" lobby.
