A good friend of mine was killed in the Baltic Exchange bombing back in the 90s (on the site of which now stands the Gherkin). It intensified my hatred of the terrorists but you're right, we f*cking sh*t 'em.

Brilliant, my father was already in Europe...but I thought monty was already there. Monte Cassino was seriously heavy stuff. 55,000 casualties. Polish troops played a prominent part alongside us.Pity some of those who so readily show disdain towards Polish immigrants today don't remember our debt to them,not just in Italy and elsewhere but their brave pilots in the Battle of Britain.

Did they undercut the British soldiers' wages! Of course did a fine job for us, but incidentally, 500,000 Poles served in the Wehrmacht during WW2. Edited by hedgehog50 (06 Jun 2017 7.04pm)

Edited by hedgehog50 (06 Jun 2017 7.04pm) Talk about a leap. I have a lot of respect for the Poles. That doesn't mean I think they deserve the British birthright. If a Pole wishes to come here and work, fine....If they wish to become British and do the necessary leg work for that...fine. All this happened before the EU expansion. But each nation has the right to set up its immigration policy to benefit its own nationals first.

But why mention the poles,I had said in a previous thread weeks ago about their contribution to our efforts,it's just point scoring. And if you want to be like that....let's be fair they were the reason we went to war,so they should help.

Pivotal and defining moment in our history. Up there with 1066, Agincourt, Trafalgar and Waterloo. To be fair; also in other countries' history, particularly the USA. I visited numerous D-Day sites a couple of years ago and they are all poignant and moving, but the US cemetery at Omaha has to be seen to be believed in terms of impact. There's a small chapel there, and as I recall it, the walls and ceiling are painted with scenes of fallen soldiers being coaxed up to heaven by merciful angels. I'm not religious but I found it so moving that I weep every time I think about it. Such as now. I almost wish it were true for those soldiers' sakes. Edited by YT (06 Jun 2017 7.58pm)
