Sir Winston Churchill

[Para Handy]

Sir Winston Churchill was a very good observer of human nature and a lot of governments in the world to day could learn a awful lot from him and history we sacrifice our military capability at our pearl he told the government of the day back in the 1930s that we should support our military and they ignored him world war II was a very close run thing what would he have said if the troops had landed on D-Day with ammunition that did not work never mind a proper hospital for medical care for the wounded some of his Greatest quotes are directed at old Adolf so much for the ban the bomb rubbish

Maybe Fjool lives in the twilight zone where he should give Osama bin Laden a sweetie and tell him not to be a silly little boy. so much for the success of 'appeasement Adolf murdered any one who spoke up against him burned books he did not like it just a pity that he did not start with his own book the Jeffrey Archer of the 1930s

a lot of good people died in world war I and II to keep this country free never mind all who have died in the past five years my mother said that her father was gone for over Five years when she was a little girl but she was lucky he came home but when she heard all this ban the bomb rubbish she felt short changed and wanted the five years he was gone back so I can only imagine how the people who had fathers who did not come home must feel so much for learning from history my grandfather died when I was two years old so I never met him and like her I feel a little bit short changed to he came home but did not last long but he believed he did the right thing history has proved that appeasement dose not work.
