My uncle was a bandsman - stretcher bearer captured at Dunkirk; he was left behind as a noncombatant in order to allow more combatant soldiers to be given opportunity to escape. In 1943 he was amongst the British soldiers to be repatriated - again, as he was a noncombatant, he was seen as more of a ...

Given that your current President was appointed by the federal supreme court, and that the turnout at the last presidential polls was about 33% of eligible voters, ?? Well as your signature implies - you are human and definitely not...

It's taken me longer to get back onto this than intended.
