Konrad von Carstein Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 Are the current Brexit difficulties/Conservative Party shenanigans emboldening these sad sacks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruyff Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 By voting for Brexit, the UK lost their right to send illegal migrants back to France for example. The ****ing irony. Idiots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cade Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 (edited) If the far-right win the French elections (which is a distinct possibility) then the shite really will hit the fan. Edited December 2, 2021 by Cade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i8hibsh Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Not wanting to get involved in the brexit/racist crap but I will answer the question. No, I don't believe it is 'fit for for heroes'. We give students 'studying' hotel and catering discounts in many places but I have never seen a 'Serviceman or woman's discount' offered. We give 4 star accommodation, 3 square meals, health care, education and pocket money to someone who arrived on our shores illegally the prior day but we have ex service men and women living in squalor.

i8hibsh Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 I will add though that I don't think all service men and women are heroes but generally speaking the services are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Lloyd George made his famous “A country fit for heroes” speech shortly after WW1, that promised so much but ultimately delivered low wages, poverty and appalling housing conditions (sound familiar?), he resigned a few years later. There were incidences of our WW1 veterans making symbolic protests in those subsequent years, including returning their medals, as they felt betrayed by their country after sacrificing so much. 100+ years on……..plus ca change……?
