It amazes me how people who use lines like our grandfather didnt fight for this, really have no idea of what happened.

Yes, because the Germans would have listened to the Vichy regime
I did not say they were correct in their beliefs, I think it was naive for them to believe that, as the very next sentence stated, much as I think you are naive to vote out, but I would understand your anger if we did not go ahead with it.

Investment in to UK is already being affected too. The consequences of that may never be felt as such, just that our economy doesn't grow by as much as it would have done.

No i dont , the original post i responded to suggested that other European countries ''came to Europe's rescue'' as well as us , they didnt, they may have resisted , but they didnt have much of a choice did they ? We did.
As for your statement that we fought mainly away from our country , tell that to the people of London, Coventry,Liverpool and all the other places that had the shit bombed out of them in the blitz, and the reason that as you delightfully put it ''but for 4 years before that, all they saw of Brits was bombers over their coastline. 4 years'' was we were rebuilding our woefully ill equipped and underfunded forces '', i'd also tell you to look at the SOE as well , perhaps you might change your pretty myopic view.

No, i was simply reponding to your assertion that we were at war with the germans out of self interest, we werent, and your response is typical of the despearation of the remain camp to smear leavers with the racist/nazi tag.

the thing is the population arent necessarily much more unhealthy (though some are), in general we are healthier than ever. we are longer living and have greater sense of entitlement. ailments that even 15 or 20 years would have been private only are now routinely offered on NHS and people expect to take up the offer, then go back for a refit a decade or so later (im not thinking just cosmetic stuff, hip and knee joints too). or people go to the GP for a cold, or other indicdentle issues that they wouldnt have in the past. add to that provision of GPs has been reduced going back to the new contract under Reed, so pressure is diverted to A&E. they cant expand often because of physical constraint. meanwhile the PPI have burdened individual hospitals with massive repayments, diverting cash from actual services. im sure there are other problems in mismanagement of budgets too, its inevitable in an organisation so large.

Its a factor for sure. Of course costs would be down if we were all healthier.
But having seen what they pay out on (firstly) recruiting and then remunerating the large swathes of senior management within that organisation, I'd take some convincing that the money isn't already there to adequately cover its frontline services were it otherwise diverted. Meantime, I have a friend who is doing a fun run to help raise money towards more incubators at his local hospice (his baby was born prematurely). He's targeting £2,000. That wouldn't even cover the cost of a quarter of an initial up-front retainer fee to help find another "Deputy Chief Operating Officer" or somesuch.

Calm yourself. I still am a bit baffled by the vote when the majority of politicians are concerned, when the UK banks are losing major ground to US banks, when the sterling plummets.
I do not think the EU bureaucrats did dictate us. The UK were at the top table and pretty much ran show the show with Germany. It was the other smaller countries that were having to make do.
Plus i quite liked the EU implement human rights and employment law litigation to help protect me as a person

Then these chief executives turn out to be useless and get £410K pay off.
You're just making things up now.
My original post that you responded to, mentioned nothing of 'rescues'. It simply stated that other European countries had made equal sacrifices.
By which every single person on the board, understood to mean human sacrifices. Casualties of war. Except you, who when presented with the appalling figures from other nations, decided to project an entirely different meaning to MY words.
You are a very odd poster.

The recruitment company who was responsible for recruiting the CEO paid off must have been piss poor

Is English a second language for you? Ask people of London, Coventry and Liverpool where the second world war was MAINLY fought, I doubt anyone would say U.K.?
For 4 years, France was occupied, we were as you say, not equipped to kick the Nazis swiftly out. But for a French man, hearing on the radio of British fighting all over North Africa, they must have felt pretty let down.
Our issue is, as a nation, we expect the rest of Europe to be bloody grateful for evermore, have little idea of what the war was like for other countries and say "we bailed you out" every time we feel the French are a bit narked with us over something.
I find it ironic to be called myopic by someone who sees Europeans only as them and not ever as us.
