By the way...

We went to war against Nazi Germany because they were expansionist, not 'insular'.

Talking earlier today about what's happening to us because of the European Union.

My mum, born after her dad was killed in Normandy...

'Makes you wonder if winning the war was worth it'.

No idea who she votes for, but my mum's fairly liberal in outlook, and was brought up in a strong socialist/ Methodist household.

My mum isn't isolated in her thoughts.

People are genuinely sick to their stomachs, at what's being allowed to happen to this once great democratic country.

Let's hope some politicans wise up, at least.
