Hard times but good to see that old spirit of the blitz is alive and kicking in Miami

It's not a shame it ended, p. It's a shame that the courage, stoicism, selflessness and sense of duty which won the conflict was thrown into the faces of the victors by the seething nest of socialist rats whose coup in 1945 remains the greatest tragedy this country has ever suffered.

The 14th century was pretty bad, tbf.

No income tax or national insurance contributions, though. Nor corporation tax, capital gains tax, inheritance tax or value added tax #socialistthieves

Of course you know as well as I do that looting was absolutely rife during the Blitz. Crafty cockernees had few qualms about robbing

G's dad lives/lived in Fort Myers. He kept sending farewell emails to his family members about how much he loves them, etc on Sunday. This obviously calmed everyone right down

He failed to mention where he'd hidden all his money?

I would imagine there was lots of thieving and robbing going on during the blitz, just different times so was hardly going to be a news issue.

Sadly it is human nature, for some.

Sure, isn't there always a few quid to be had whenever there's trouble afoot.

One wonders how they afforded good hospitals, schools and were able to maintain the cities and towns not to mention providing safety and security for all of the citizens without taxes.

1. Good hsopitals are paid for by premiums paid to BUPA.
2. Good schools are paid for by the hard work of the parents.
3. Cities and towns may be paid for by the people who choose to live in them.
4. If you think this socialist dystopia is 'civilisation', fúck knows how shítty Canada is.
