Ships don’t win battles, sailors do. Well trained crews able to think as a single entity, utterly committed to both the mission and each other.
Courage, humour, spirit, determination, loyalty and teamwork.
The British Sailor.

I call on everyone who cares about democracy - and the economic salvation of this country - to fight, fight and fight again for the freedoms the people voted for in 2016, and which they believed were secure
