Thank you Togo - It sure makes you think doesn't it?
Re. //Farage has a German wife and still thinks leaving is right! Funny that... //
So have, and do I, on both counts. I'm pasting in a letter I sent to my ex- UK Member of Parliament a month ago, imploring him to not vote for May's treacherous "deal";
Dear Sir Geoffrey Clifton-Brown,
Thank you for your encouraging reply, and we concur with everything you have written. Having for family reasons given up the Cotswolds; Winstone, Cirencester [in his constituency] to take up residence in Germany, we are aware that if Brexit goes all wrong we could personally lose out, but know Brexit isn’t about us, and feel it isn’t just about trade either, it’s about the thousand years of British sovereignty being lightly handed over to unelected Brussels bureaucrats – something Britain never joined up to do in the first place.
I turned ** last week and, muse on the scenario of trying to explain to my father, who gave up 5 years of his young married life to serve for the country in the R.A.F. - mostly in Egypt in WW2, and my grandfather who was severely wounded, and had one leg amputated in a field hospital on the Somme in WW1, what some tradesmen and politicians are dangerously near to doing to their country.
On reading your letter, I feel and trust you will do all in your power to see that there is a good outcome.
Good luck, and our best wishes,
