Re: Shame on anyone who didn't turn out to vote
Had a think and a chat about this last night in the boozer Mick made a decent point that I've heard previously but dont think anyone has mentioned as such, its relating to the veterans and casualties of WWI/WWII.
They'd turn in thier graves by whats happened politically over the last 10years regarding Europe. 65years ago a bloke called adolf, (you may have heard of him) thought that a good idea was to make one big superpower, where our countries had no boarders. Obviously not everyone was going to come willingly so to speed things along he thought it best these questioners were killed.
This seemed a little extreame to good old blighty and so with our american cousins we destoryed most of the main land and scared Adolf so bad he shot him self.
65 years later it seems we've done exactly the same as what little old Adolf was trying to do all them years ago, the only difference is that we did it with out all the killing.
And for the sting in the tail, the bloke who said this is Mick or (Mad Dog) as he's affectionatly known, Mad Dog is a 70+ yr old bloke he didnt fight obviously but he did grow up in post war Britain. He didnt use those words exactly but he did use the following ones (give or take)
"For the record I have and always will vote Conservative they supported our troops and they want Britain to keep some of its power, (hits fist on our table) we used to have an empire ffs now were just as pussy whiped as the french, now F'off!
He got quite worked up, he was a bit drunk so Chris took him back to his stool and we decided to change the subject. He also has a good theory on how to get rid of lawless Britain and all these damn yoof's!
