In the WW1 the Supreme Allied Commander, Foch, was French. In WW2, it was Eisenhower so nothing new in the British forces ultimately being under the command of someone who is not a British Citizen. – at Longford, Ireland

“In the context of the particular game, I have never seen a better test match innings.” ~ Richie Benaud In 1991, Graham Gooch scored 154* that inspired England to their first home Test win against West Indies for 22 years. He scored 61% of England's 252 runs in 2nd innings (an English record) - 8 batsmen failed to make it out of single figures.

This ruling is a joke. PPE Medpro will go bankrupt and the Government won't get a penny. Michelle Mone should have to pay the £122m personally. RT if you want to see her pay it all back.

Been married 52 years, but I still carry my wife's picture in my wallet. Whenever I face difficulties in life, I take out my wallet and stare ate her picture. And it comforts me knowing that if I survived being married to this psycho, I can survive anything.
