The west is the best
Enigma in a blue coat
Stood atop the wall
Darling of the suppressed
For the grass grows lush
On the other side
Where the Maid of Iron
Feller of tyrannies
Set you all free
But history forgets
What it chooses to
And the world is the poorer
For that which is gone

I should have said, but didn't..... that I agreed with your feelings but my own comment of better to say nothing at all. I now understand I must have sounded as if I was expressing the feeling that YOU Kev shouldn't have expressed yourself as you clearly did. In fact my own statement of not saying anything at all was just that I felt that there was nothing more that I could add without expressing my own anger towards someone who did so much damage to a infrastructure/system that worked and which can never be replaced.
The right to express yourself is essential; I feel
privileged to live in a country where we have free speech. I realise my own statement was open to misinterpretation, my own fault, that if I wasn't prepared or had the confidence to say what I felt then I should have said nothing at all. Sorry Kev
