"Perhaps he'd want them transported to Australia, just like the good old empire days..." (PFR)...I hate imperialism, be it American, German or British.

"Assuming you're talking about Sudesh Amman (Streatham attack) and Usman Khan (Fishmongers Hall) The latter, at least, was born in Stoke-on-Trent and was of British nationality. Where would you have him repatriated/deported to? We have little choice but to deal with our 'home-grown' terrorists in this country." (Nigel)...When indigenous south Asians, spurred on by Gandhi after he repatriated from South African, began asking Europeans to repatriate some English, e.g., were 4th or 5th generation - they were still called English and they still repatriated.

And as for Trooping the Colour, I enjoy the marching and the music but hate the use of horses - the saying "chafing at the bit" is ridiculous because all the poor horse wants to do is get the damn thing out of its mouth. My poem, from WalkaboutsVerse, SRS, questioning "Horses for Courses?"
