    Phillip Wellesley Colley was just 25 when he lost his life on 6th June! The debt we owe can never be repaid, R.I. P your duty done!

    Indeed, I am an American and cannot even begin to fathom the hell the Brits endured during the constant bombing from Germany in WW2. Of course having a man such as Winston Churchill certainly helped. To many, he was the glue that held the British people together during that time.

    Excuse me? How fucking dare you! Don’t ever speak for all of us. 90% of us know what the allies did to fucking free Europe. The European Union has prevent monstrosities like this, and Britain leaving it, because they want some feeling of power. I am half British/Dutch but how dare you say we don’t appreciate it!
