Fake or not, anything that has the potential to suffocate Gareth Gates gets my vote...

I just saw it as bringing living history to the people.....


Plus, it is the only part of the RAF that is still serviceable......

Proceeds of crime act 2002


This allows for the confiscation of assets that have have accrued via the machinations of a criminal act. The Empire was a criminal organisation, involved in genocide and theft on a global scale


This act should be enforced to ensure the royals do not benefit from the actions of the original Evil Empire.

Actually, that's not true. George V changed the family surname from Wettin to Windsor in 1917. The dynasty was called House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha and that was changed to House of Windsor at the same time.


Elizabeth II's real surname is, and always has been, Windsor. Though she should really be Mountbatten-Windsor by marriage, she decided to keep 'Windsor'.


Anyway, I always find that comment (and it's hardly new) more than a teensie bit racist. It's a bit like asking a black person born in Britain, "where are you *really* from". Or assuming someone whose grandparents were Chinese would speak Cantonese.

"well i dont no how you say god save the queen in German ,,but im sure she does". Hmmm.


And why did they change? Well, as I said, they changed it in 1917. What was the big news story that year?

Whilst on the subject of Racism let us take a look at The Union Jack.


Symbol of Empire and Imperialism. Of Oppression and adopted by ultra right wing extreem groups of Racists.


It is outdated and has no place in this day and age..


In 1606, the first Union Jack flag was created by merging the English flag

(the red cross of Saint George)

with the Scottish flag

(the diagonal white cross of Saint Andrew on a blue background).

Then, in 1801, the addition of Ireland to the United Kingdom added the Irish flag to the flag

(the red Saint Patrick's cross).


And with Scotland on the verge of Independence, the flag may soon have to go..

    • Try Gentrification, those with more money than sense who constantly want something different, when pie and mash isn't good enough for them.  "Argentinian Cornish pasties" give3 me a proper Cornish pastie any day of the week, at least I'd be supporting something traditionally British.   ps. tin hat at the ready........................🤣
    • You really have to go and look at the schools yourself, and do some research. My children went to the same school in different years and had very different experiences. Different school focus on different things. It's very personal. We bought close to the school I wanted to go to, and then moved a bit later, when they were old enough to travel on their own.
    • Not even remotely close to the catchment for charter north over there and would imagine outskirts of east (tho should check recent years). Would leave the Harris’s as more guaranteed options so maybe have a look at those and see if you’d be happy with them as a fallback 
    • Sorry, thought better of my comment .
