After all what did the Romans ever do for us?? Well apart from the sanitation, medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, the fresh water system and public health, what did the Romans ever do for us?

POLITICAL CORRECTNESS GONE MAD, how can we apologise for something that happened when none of us were alive???

Did anyone ever get any apologies over the Highland Clearances?

Nothing from the Duke of Sutherland?

Travellers heading south of Stoke-on-Trent past Trentham Gardens can see a statue of the man himself, up on the hillside. I wonder how many realise who it is? And would we tolerate a statue of Adolf Hitler on a hill top?
