Bowling A Maiden Over by TITVS ADVXAS

Hitting the floor running is a well overused cliché from modern times, but I can think of no other term to describe Nick Griffin's maiden speech to the European Parliament.
In just over 2 minutes, he manages to OUT Tory leader David Cameron and 5 UK sitting MEP as supporters of The UAF, exposes the ever changing 'Official' underlying and hidden reasons that have and will be used to wage war again in the middle east, with Iran as the latest target, and finally tells the leaders to send their own families rather than the families of ordinary people to war.



The poem called "For The Fallen" is best known for it's 4th verse, used in remembrance. After watching Nick, read the whole poem, and do so without shedding tears. Impossible

"For The Fallen"

by Laurence Binyon

With proud thanksgiving, a mother for her children,
England mourns for her dead across the sea.
Flesh of her flesh they were, spirit of her spirit,
Fallen in the cause of the free.

Solemn the drums thrill; Death august and royal
Sings sorrow up into immortal spheres,
There is music in the midst of desolation
And a glory that shines upon our tears.

They went with songs to the battle, they were young,
Straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow.
They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted;
They fell with their faces to the foe.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

They mingle not with their laughing comrades again;
They sit no more at familiar tables of home;
They have no lot in our labour of the day-time;
They sleep beyond England's foam.

But where our desires are and our hopes profound,
Felt as a well-spring that is hidden from sight,
To the innermost heart of their own land they are known
As the stars are known to the Night;

As the stars that shall be bright when we are dust,
Moving in marches upon the heavenly plain;
As the stars that are starry in the time of our darkness,
To the end, to the end, they remain.

In WW1 our soldiers were referred to as "Lions led by Dinosaurs" (referring to the government and generals such as Haig and Kitchener)
Today it is more apt to just say Lions led by Cowards and Liars (the government)
