Had he not done this, there probably wouldn't have been a second world war.<br /><br />We forget, Poland was attacked from both sides, by Germany and by Russia, but the latter is seldom spoken about.<br /><br />Barneynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4169740113013066976.post-89459750765200919042016-07-12T22:17:13.679+01:002016-07-12T22:17:13.679+01:00

And to compare Hitler's European vision to the current EU vision - if only by association - cannot be right.<br />Can you provide a more compelling modern example of how Britain has gone it alone in Europe and succeeded? Maybe the Iraq war? Or not being part of Schengen?William Hobhousenoreply@blogger.com
