Just like to give a massive shout out to the bugler, for the leeds game. Amazing. Thank all our veterans, (a note to stamer, having watched a ww2 veteran yesterday. Remarked. Was it all worth it) country in a right mess.

He was brilliant ? 100% concentration.

Your right Bowie I think he was the best we've had in a long time, (the bugler not the clown in no 10). and apart from the odd disrispful D. CK head it was observed in the manner it was intended for. good point Bowie.

Totally agree Bowie. To watch and listen to an old-timer saying that his Service and the sacrifices made in WW2 'wasn't worth it' due to the current state of our country almost broke my heart. I totally agree with him.
I'm really not sure who/ what is to blame for the current state of the UK and our disclocated 'I'm alright Jack' society in general - the politicians, the faceless civil servants, money, immigration, us apathetic public. Probably a mixture of each. All I know is that at times, like that old-timer I too doubt my own Service and whether, overall, if it was worth it given the end result.

My grandad was in ww2 I use to spend every weekend with him and all school holidays use to tell me some stories but only the good ones you could see he was hiding the horror stories. he died at 92 I remember him saying. that the German pensioners got treated better than the British pensioners that won the war. he said at least the Germans looked after there own.
not like our government remember him telling me he sent his medals back after the war as why he was out there fighting for his country his family at home was struggling to feed themselves 20 years on from his death I wonder what he would think now I'm sure he would have a lot more to say than the veteran that spoke out we will never know what they went through for this country look at it now great Britain long gone Scottish Welsh Irish no were not aloud to sat English country's finished.

Any country that has to contend with mass immigration will lose its identity to a degree
That's not something just unique to the UK though.
13 Nov 2025 01:00:24
I think what's happening with our country is more than a little degree DTP, I was on parliament st yesterday catching a bus to the queen's, I had two men asking me for money, it was only 9 30 am in the morning. You never got that sort of behaviour a few years ago.
You can't walk through the city centre without stepping over the homeless. People need to wake up before it's too late, this country is the laughing stock of Europe and a dumping ground for anyone who the EU don't want.

Thing is Lego the veterans of WW1 and WW2 were fighting in wars that meant something. You were sent into wars that meant nothing other than oil and US domination. That's not a slight on you that's a slight on our weak leaders that are too scared of the Americans and too quick to go to war.

Having juat spent a while in hospital being looked after some wonderful multi racial people who were professional and kind to everyone in their care and unfortunately were abused by a couple of patients who I told them what I thought of them.
My grandad was in the desert and. Was a regular so didn't come home straight away he fought for freedom of speech etc but these people who slap down and humiliate the people trying to help you should be ashamed of themselves and my grandad was a Forest Fan.

A lot had no choice to fight ravers. that's the difference they went because of protecting there families. They didn't sign up for it to be a career.
13 Nov 2025 11:59:55
Lego. It was very worth it and very much appreciated as far as I'm concerned.
Without the men and women who ultimately gave their lives, this country of ours would be much worse off.
What saddens me so much is the people who think it's a good idea to upstage proceedings. Completely worthless in my opinion.
Thank you lego and everyone of your colleagues.

Agree with everything you say Red Vale.

The only operational theatre that I served in with the Army where I truly think that my individual Service made a difference for the better was in Bosnia Herzegovina. Can you believe, 30 years ago, that our primary role was to protect the Muslims over there who were being screwed-over? How times have changed!
Whilst watching/ reading the news nowadays, I sometimes think of those poor unfortunates being 'ethnically-cleansed' and the suffering that I witnessed them going through in the process.
If I was a Muslim in Bosnia at that time - would I have sought refuge in the UK for my family and myself? Damn right I would have. Would you? Just consider that question with regards to legal (not illegal) immigration into this country.
13 Nov 2025 21:08:33
That's all good and well legolas but how many damn countries do they have to come through where there is no war and where they can stay before crossing the Channel to reach ours.

You're totally missing my point Skegs. Compassion. Do you not feel it?
13 Nov 2025 22:28:44
No mate I have no compassion for anyone or anything.
14 Nov 2025 00:22:38
Very good Skegs. Not even your twins?
14 Nov 2025 06:28:18
There old enough and ugly enough to look after themselves now ?.
14 Nov 2025 14:57:09
There are coming here from safe countries like France, Lego. Not unsafe countries.
14 Nov 2025 19:47:39
From Greece to Italy where they first cross the Mediterranean they are not made welcome, so move on
They know from those that arrive in the UK that they get looked after,
Successive government's can't stop it and unless the Eu takes them on and looks after them properly it will continue
France is a huge country and shout prevent them setting up camp near the ports.
