Summer budget 2015 Wow, our politicians really do take the p***. Only days after the events, they're planning a memorial yet did nothing about This? "An appeal was made for £5.6 million to build the memorial, and funding came from donations made by the public, as well as substantial amounts from Lord Ashcroft and businessmen John Caudwell and Richard Desmond. Robin Gibb, the singer, became a key figure behind the appeal, working alongside Jim Dooley to raise funds and have the memorial built." 55,573 dead & took 67 years to commemorate, yet... ...what about the thousands of dead who suffered & toiled on the home front to keep this country fighting - where's their memorial? |

Home Guard 1 As expected, but you failed to answer the question. Secret London We have the worst chancellor of the exchequer stating funds will be available for a memorial to 30 dead tourists only days after their deaths... ...so where are the memorials to the civilian dead that kept this country fighting? |
