And, when you think about it, they didn't get a better future, even though that's what they were fighting for. They got depression, no work, and a government that basically set the stage for another war.

That's one thing you can say about each and every govt we have ever had. We, the people, don't matter to them. They have their own agenda, which is generally about making their lives better. Not ours. Not this country. Just their bank balances.

When it comes to our armed forces we have to realise that those in the middle classes have always looked down on them and considered themselves 'morally superior' and the idea that we look after the ordinary people who have served their country in time of war is an absolute, bare faced, fucking lie. My grandfather was a professional soldier, an RSM, at the outbreak of WWII and was lucky that he was sent back to Britain to train to become an officer before the fall of France. He once told me that in the view of the general public back then, those in the serving army at the outbreak were considered war mongers and trouble makers and, as professionals, not far removed from mercenaries. A far cry from the 'brave and heroic lads' of Dunkirk. We have to remember that the parliament of the time didn't want Churchill to become Prime Minister because they simply didn't want to have to get their hands dirty with a war and preferred to have another appeaser take over. If Churchill hadn't succeeded in becoming PM Germany would most likely be enjoying a thousand year Reich now. Maybe that would have been better than the shit show we have now, I don't know, but we mustn't kid ourselves that anyone other than their families and friends really, truly care for serving soldiers.

I've shared this and everyone thinks it's a joke.

Similar organizations that USAID was funding, and now a lefty woke judge has ruled that cuts to USAID are unconstitutional 😲 how can a judge make that decision when it is US tax payers money being wasted and the majority of US citizens voted in Trump on a manifesto explicitly stating he would do this?

Oh the caring, tolerant, left! :rolleyes:

Elon is right when he suggests the attacks on Tesla must be organised and funded, I very much doubt these are the actions of just deranged individuals. Also, so far all Elon Musk appears to have done is help humanity in a variety of different ways, providing solutions to problems and often for no personal profit or even loss, unlike others like Bill Gates who seems to engineer problems to inflict upon us to our detriment and for his own profit.

The french [spit on floor] are certainly gearing up their defence infrastructure, mind you when you don't waste Billions looking after migrants housing, feeding, and setting them up for a comfortable life then you can afford to build up your military..............where did we go wrong?
