Country:  | It did say some German and Italians were still there. Ironic that a base built in 1942, in Canada has Italy and Germany left on it!

| Typical of our English politicians - shut down something useful,
When have you ever heard them cutting any of their perks!!
They would rather spend the money on their subsidised meals, London flat allowances & New cars to take them everywhere.
They dont just have their snouts in the trough, they have their two front trotters in it too - it makes me sick!!!

Country:  | Urm, well, shaking your head about defence cuts isn't really a problem, as everyone who posts here agrees that it's a very bad idea for their respective countries to do this.
Rule of thumb is that if it's really controversial - say 'Right to Die' for example, or something where very strong nationalistic feelings either modern or historical are involved, then it's not.
Generally speaking, common sense rules okay on this. | |
