My Home Town



Canning Town in London at the end of WW2. Its where I grew up. The British had nowhere to run they took it because they had to and the young men who left their families were not running to safety they joined and were conscripted into the armed forces.

In the UK there was strict rationing it might have been easier in some rural areas to get some extra food but through most of the country rationing was strict people went without and it continued into the early nineteen fifties.

I have some sympathy for refugees but none for economic migrants and none for those migrants who refused food because it came in boxes with a cross on them.
ISIS are boasting they've sent thousands of terrorists to the EU and looking at the pictures of the young men its not hard to think they could.
