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It is outdated and has no place in this day and age..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

    • Hello.   Thanks Nigel and Hparker 😀   I've got new slots available for new students looking for a piano teacher or guitar teacher.   You could start in the new term beginning September, or I'm also available adhoc-styles through the summer holidays at times.   I teach all ages, in most styles, in lots of different ways according to how you learn/like to learn.   Give me a call or text on 07730 402336.   I have connections to lots of performance opportunities/networks too.   I run regular events /student concerts, and play in bands/perform.   Natalie. 
    • So do I, but I think they are in trouble as well.  Anyway, that space wouldn't be big enough.
    • I'm not talking about Starmer. I was responding to a post which  said that  Corbyn was unelectable. How people voted in the "more hotly contested election" is irrelevant. Corbyn wasn't leading the Labour Party then. Starmer was. And the turnout for Labour reflects that. 
    • Reeves says she's in charge and no no's Rayners plan, what happens now?
