To airbrush out bits we do not like is something we ought to leave to other governments, nations and dictatorships. We can celebrate a unique English political evolution which after civil war seems to have forged a more united nation thereafter.Nobbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16329815721904353534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4413130168723738166.post-65978749023944878252010-06-20T16:43:13.454-07:002010-06-20T16:43:13.454-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Fletch's Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16402507296202065300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4413130168723738166.post-28489621047999256422010-06-20T16:34:40.190-07:002010-06-20T16:34:40.190-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Fletch's Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16402507296202065300noreply@blogger.com
