Someone please answer this?

Those of us who hark back to the old days, who are accused of having a sentimental attitude - nay, even a nationalistic attitude - to the problems we are presently experiencing, are accused of living in the past and are told that "those days are over". But I have to ask: are they? Is it not right to wish to preserve a society, country and traditions for which people, holding those beliefs, have fought wars to preserve - and more than once?

Why are there cemeteries in other countries commemorating the ultimate sacrifice that men and women of the United Kingdom and Commonwealth have paid in order to preserve a way of life for which the United Kingdom was held to be a shining example? Ask yourself: why would those, from what was a another country, come to fight for a 'foreign' land? They could hardly be called mercenaries. Should all that be forgotten, purely on the whim of those who wish to denigrate that history and in so doing impose on us a society and governance which is totally alien to our inherent beliefs?

What do the younger generation know of that past and ultimate sacrifice when it is no longer taught in our schools? Should it not be taught in order that those who will inherit the place we presently occupy in this nation - a once proud nation - realise from whence came their heritage as a free people? Is there not a contradiction, come Remembrance Sunday, when those who pretend to be the leaders of our nation parade before the Cenotaph in order to lay wreaths to honour those who paid that ultimate sacrifice, whilst at the same time undoing all that the deceased laid down their lives to preserve?

I have heard it said that wars can be forgotten, that past differences can be forgotten for the common good, to enable the people of different lands to live in peace and harmony - but wars cannot be forgotten. The question of why those wars were fought will never be forgotten, however much the political elite try. The political elite cannot rewrite history unless they first 'kill' a human trait, the thirst for knowledge - as knowledge encompasses history.

Regardless of what they may say, it is believed that all politicians have a hidden agenda; one that includes personal power and personal advancement which necessarily includes personal wealth; an agenda - unforeseen by them due to their disregard of history - which ultimately has resulted in the downfall of all tyrants through the ages, be they democratically elected or self-appointed. The fact that politicians repeatedly inform us that they are elected to represent us and that they act for the general good of our country has been shown to be a scam - a scam inflicted on us and for which we, the people, have fallen time and time again.

That the United Kingdom as a country has been emasculated beyond all recognition to those who know its history, is without question an undeniable fact. That those responsible are those who have perpetrated - and continue to perpetrate - the scam in which they have a vested interest is likewise without question an undeniable fact. That the indigenous people of the United Kingdom are becoming increasing bewildered, asking themselves how the present state of affairs has come about, is also without question an undeniable fact. To those bewildered one can only suggest, to quote from the film "V for Vengeance", that they look in a mirror.

Now to my question: Are we who ask for a change to our democratic system; who yearn for the return of total self-governance for this nation of ours; who wish to recreate the era when our country really was "Great" - are we wasting our time and effort? Are we "dinosaurs" whose days really are over?
