Hi all,
A day off sick today, and a chance to catch up with a few things. WOW ! What an interesting, informative, and educated discussion this thread has become !
I have long held the opinion that Britain's militarial and political intervention in European affairs had a hell of a lot more to do with her own economic interests, than with any moral posturing regarding the protection of smaller/weaker countries. I still remember asking questions about the pink bits on the large map of the British Empire at school :hmm: History does tend to be written by the victorious !
Anyway, thanks for a very interesting read this morning, it really does show the calibre of members that this forum attracts
