SIR: Most of our leading politicians were either very young children or not even born when this nation went to war to protect not only Britain but also Europe from the enemy within out midst who was enslaving or killing everywhere they went. Now our leaders and those of other small states want to hand over everything our people hold dear, "The Great Freedoms" of U.N.O. to our enemy of two Great Wars.
I know Christ said - "Forgive them that trespass against us", but He did not say forget what they have done, nor did He say trust them.
If Europe becomes one large nation with one person, one vote, Germany will have most votes and Hitler's dream will have been achieved.
Every war memorial says 'Lest we forget', not only our brave dead, but for what and why they fought and died.
