As we see our freedoms and rights to rule our own destiny given away by Gordon Brown and the hapless David Milliband in return for some “pay-off” by Brussels for them personally but, the enslavement of all UK citizens in the process, it is time to remind ourselves just why an “Albatross in a tartan waistcoat” and a slick smart boy with apparently little love and affiliation for the country that gave his family shelter and sustanance are disgracefully wrong in every respect.

Both these low life “chancer’s” should resign from public life and office, immediately because clearly, they are not “Fit for Purpose” in terms of elected representatives bent on representing their constituents personal needs. They seem only concerned with their own personal prospects and future career prospects within the EU bureaucracy, shame on them, I say.

I will start with a picture of a river bank which, could be any river bank except that it happens to be the sweep of the Thames just below Windsor.

Just past this point lies a soggy meadow upon which Magna Carta was signed and approximate to that, a little pagoda bought and paid for by the American Bar Association to celebrate our ‘common roots and purpose’ in the freedom of the individual before the Law.

But there is far more to see here. To the right hand side as you view it and starting to climb the ‘escarpment’ you will reach the JFK – Kennedy Memorial and a few moments should be spent here. I will indulge myself a little because below is a picture of the memorial and below that, the inscription and below that, the same image but slightly different and I hope that makes sense.

This Acre of English Ground was given to the United States of America by the People of Britain in memory of John F Kennedy (born 29 May 1917) President of the United States 1961 – 63. Died by an assassins hand 22 Nov 1963

“Let every nation know whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend or oppose any foe, in order to assure the survival and success of liberty.”

But it doesn’t end there, climb the same escarpment just a little higher and you will reach possibly the greatest monument to the “Anglosphere” you ever will, a rather ‘Stalinist’ looking building and monument to RAF pilots, both men a women, from all parts of the British sphere of influence who lost their lives and for which, there are no known graves. Within the monument it is very simple, lines of alcoves with every name engraved by year, nation and thereafter, by rank and alphabet.

Perhaps I am sentimental but, I used to ride there from time to time and was never failed in feeling the ‘majesty’ of the place. To live for ‘Freedom’ is one thing, to die for it is totally another – ‘thing’ and on this particular day, we might all just remember that .
