I hear france are interested,it would be the final insult to all our brave armed forces! I reckon they should just be honest and shut up parliament for good.Admit brussels are in control,sell the houses of parliament and open that as a tourist attraction! For the first time it would make money!! Just read something about 140 million overpaid to retired ranking civil servants,get that back that should look after the Victory and the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight(another threatened institution!)

What value Heritage ? Are we to just become faceless, no foundation people ? The type that Blair was all out to produce ? Sorry but maybe I'm an old goat - but I'm proud of British Heritage and History with all it's infamy as well. For me any person / people should be proud of their Country and Heritage whatever country. Too often it gets wasted or put aside for some whacky stupid politicians idiotic dream. The RN is nothing like it was and like most of our Armed Forces would not be able to sustain a conflict as Falklands again. Victory is like that ... cut-backs and alternatives. If it was to go the way of Cutty Sark - and Trust ... My TRUST in that would be zero. Gypsy Moth had to be rescued from rot and rubbish by others ... Cutty Sark was housed in a pyromaniacs dream ... Victory entrusted to that ? Better RN skimp a bit on restorations and keep her than that.
