this place is probably all right if you're a rock star.

interesting that the wtiter said that his parents generation liked us. My dad who was in the fighting in the low countries said the Dutch people were very warm and welcoming.

Anyway now he hates us. Can't stand it that a working class was rude and triumphalistic to broken hearted middle class people, tearstained and bereft of their beloved EU.

What can you say?
If you weren't there when Tebbit was lying that NO miners would lose their job if they went back to work. That the unenemployed were just workshy who needed to get on their bikes. When the conference hall errupted with hilarity at the tory party conference as Peter Lillie sang a parody of Gilbert and Sullivan about disabled scroungers.

Well I guess if you weren't there or have forgotten. You won't have seen real triumphalism. Triumphalism that didn't even need a triumph, as Thatch got re-elected with about 34% of the vote, time after time - and then subjected the country to the most radical right wing reforms imaginable.

Carry on loathing. All your freedoms and economic matiness with Germany was bought with English blood.
