[Margaret Pilkington]

The British people are the most giving in the world.....we elect our representatives and trust them to do what we would like them to do.....that they do not always do what is moral, is not something that we can do much about until the elections come along.
Anyway jhonnyking, how would you change history then? The short answer is, as you have so rightly said...learn from it! But politicians rarely do.

Maybe some of the underdeveloped countries have bought weapons instead of concentrating on their infrastructure......underdeveloped countries have rich politicians too.
