However if you want to bring politics into the mess our grandfathers made we can. The Liberal party was in charge throughout WW1 were they not ?

Yes it was messed up back then, but not by the ordinary folk, perhaps you should understand that though you may call your Grandfather around here the memory and sacrifices made by the Accrington Pals are still revered.
Most of whom had worked in a thriving quality cotton industry and High class engineering associated with that trade. They weren't rubbish tradesmen they were amongst the best.
They were sacrificed in the great war and the survivors let down afterwards.
