Probably an inconvenient truth for some, but the British liberated Belgium in WW2 from the Germans. Those fun loving Germans, who would have thought they once wanted to rule Europe.

I'd rather it was a pic of her face in the urinal. Actually I have urinated on thatchers face (and Jimmy Hill's I believe) there was this one pub I used to visit in Glasgow that had urinals with a screen behind perspex and you could get the face of whoever you wanted loaded up to go....

It was and I believe the top of his head was missing too...

May come in handy what with lots of Scots being on here.
So as far as Corbyn is concerned, do we agree that his bum's oot the windae?

All this anti-May stuff is all very entertaining but does anyone actually know what Labour's position on Brexit actually is? Seems that Corbyn is clueless about it.
Interestingly, there are rumours that Vince Cable is having talks with disgruntled Labour and Tory MP's about forming a Third Party..........
Dozens of peers and MPs received millions in EU subsidies for their estates, according to a new survey which estimates that almost 50 politicians have cashed in.
Why wouldn't they if the handouts are on offer? But look closer at those names and surprise, surprise, some are leading the campaign to block Brexit.
They include the Duke of Wellington who last year received £91,000 for his 7,000-acre Hampshire estate.
The 73-year-old unelected peer spearheaded a House of Lords move to delete the exit date, March 29, 2019, from the EU (Withdrawal) Bill.
Lord Haskins, 81, who has voted for a second referendum, received £82,000 last year for his farmland in Yorkshire.
another beneficiary is the Tory MP Antoinette Sandbach, a persistent Brexit rebel.
She received £23,000 last year from the EU for the family farming business in North Wales.
No doubt these individuals all declared a financial interest when speaking in EU debates?
Finally, let's not forget Lord Heseltine, 85, worth around £300 million, who for decades has shown a slavish devotion to all matters Brussels. He's not in this survey, but he's certainly been a beneficiary of EU largesse previously.
In the past, he has pocketed up to £90,000 for his estate in Oxfordshire which includes a lake, fish ponds, tennis courts, swimming pool, and an award-winning arboretum with 3,500 different species of trees and plants.
When challenged about the cash, he countered: 'This is the whole basis of the European agricultural system.

Wealthy Brexiteers like James Dyson are jumping ship. Why might that be?
...Dyson’s decision is inevitably rolled in with all the others that suggest UK companies, and those based here, are now guarding themselves against Brexit, especially a Brexit of the no-deal, crash-out variety. How else are we to interpret Dyson’s admission that it’s moving to Singapore to be “future-proofed”? What future exactly does it wish to be proofed against?

How apt it is that one of those P&O ferries soon to be flying under the proud colours of Cyprus is called the Spirit of Britain. For this is the spirit now animating alarming numbers of Britain’s captains of industry: with the Brexit iceberg looming, they’ve concluded that they need to find safe harbour somewhere else
Brexit: Jacob Rees-Mogg defends Ireland move by City firm he co-founded ahead of EU withdrawal
Prominent Brexiteer Jacob Rees-Mogg has defended the move by a City firm that he helped to found to establish an investment fund in Ireland ahead of the UK leaving the European Union.
The Conservative MP faced questions when it emerged that Somerset Capital Management (SCM) had launched a new investment vehicle in Dublin amid concerns about being cut off from European investors.
A prospectus for the new business, which was registered in March and will be governed by EU and Irish rules, listed Brexit as one of the risks, as it could cause “considerable uncertainty”.
