Great Country
How can people say that Britain was once a great country ?
We sent 15 year old boys to war in the First World War – we could not be bothered checking their ages , who where often shot for being cowards , we conquered raped plundered other countries . How can you say it was a great country ? Being English myself I am really ashamed of my country , so why was it considered a great country , what good have we done , my answer nothing
The first country to abolish slavery and then to use the Royal Navy to police the West African coast. Also to use diplomacy to encourage other European countries to follow our lead. To stand alone against Hitler in the darkest days of 1940 and 1941. Newton led the way in mathematics which was a catlyst leading to the Industrial Revolution which has led to the world as we know it today. Invented the railways which enabled common people for the first time to travel beyond their villages. Alan Turing invented to computer which has led to you being able to post this comment today. Need I go on?
Great Country Song – It’s A Great Place.
