True Brit 16

I am sure this gentleman is being written about on countless blogs but in my opinion not enough can be said...Mr William Grove you are truly an inspiration and a fine example of the best that Britain has produced.I am not sure if we produce too many people like this anymore(myself included) but whilst Mr Grove survives we are in good company. This poppy wearing war veteran is a great advert for poppy day....we all need to give to help the generation this man represents and for the soldiers of today following in his footsteps.

Pilot Officer Reg Wilson is truly an honourable man...he has my heartfelt thanks for his efforts and for his fidelity to his comrades he has my admiration.

65 years ago today Guy Penrose Gibson v.c. led a raid into the heart of fascist Germany (note to liberals,these where real fascists...not Bush!) Using new technology in perilous circumstances a blow was dealt that further reduced the capacity of the Nazi regime to wage war...an earlier shock and awe if you will. Guy Gibson and his comrades fought without pause to keep the democratic west free and to free the conquered nations of Europe.Gibson owned, as many pilots did, a dog...the dog in reference to its colour was called nigger...a name from an earlier age without the negative connotations of today.We are lucky that people of that era just wanted to win the war and survive...today he would have been sent for numerous career killing cultural awareness courses,his crime outweighing his prowess as a warrior. Britain in its time of need has often produced such men and still does today.Guy Gibson did not survive to see freedom triumph.

When I pay my income tax this year I have the pleasure of knowing that a small fraction of it goes to pay for this heart warming story. Given a choice I'd rather those two human balloons exploded and my tax could go to giving this chap the assistance and respect he deserves...something sadly lacking in nulabours me me me Britain.
