Look at what 70 years of socialism has done to us.

This society is finished. Burn it all down and hope something worthwhile rises from the ashes.

Mind you, this Millwall chap did quite well. Good banter in the magazine his pals brought him, too, I thought.

I have no issues with Frog cavalry either way. I'm simply sad that we have sunk so low as to run away from danger rather than towards it.

Yes. Everyone forgets that it was Falstaff who said 'The better part of valour is discretion' and (mis)quotes it as though it were holy writ as opposed to being something said by a fictional character who was being represented as a coward, a poltroon and a blowhard.

My question would be what on earth they thought they were doing being cavalry in 1940, tbh. Silly French persons.

I have an issue with quotations as proof of argument, anyway. Just because some famous **** said it, doesn't mean I have to believe it.
