Have you read or better still been to a performance of Henry V ?Originally posted by Mr Pee View PostConveniently ignoring the fact that many of the troops involved had only recently returned from Afghanistan, where they were putting their lives on the line and, in some cases, had seen their friends and comrades slaughtered.
Still, don't let such trivia get in the way of a cheap laugh.
aaah yes our heroic troops (some of whom ARE heroic by the way , so don't get me wrong..........)
nothing like a bit of slaughter in a foreign country to "bring us all together"
another of our noble traditions
How many meaningless deaths does one need to "bring the country together I wonder ?"Comment

one of the things that is funny (in several ways) is that some people really believe all of this "pulling us all together" nonsenseOriginally posted by Mr Pee View Post
which seems to prove that we have failed to teach critical thinking
and as for the "ancient" traditions ........
about as ancient as NOT clapping between movements
this is more of the one nation that I would want ............
