Scotsman,
I was a bit tipsy, and too harsh in my remarks.
Guess I was spurred on by all this “frakk you and frakk this”...
I do appreciate your service. Most Norwegians rightly or wrongly feel more in debt to Britain than to the USA for your effort to free us in ww2.
We have had close ties since, and we still send you the Christmas Tree on Trafalgar Square every year to symbolize that appreciation.
If you have ever been to Norway, you will know that it is one of the few countries were the British are truly adored.
My grandfather spent part of the war years in Paisley after having fought on the Narvik front alongside British soldiers.
Anyhow, what concerns me is that the war is no longer “over there”....
Paras are no longer on the frontlines.
Child care workers in Rotherham are.
The rape crisis center in Oslo is.
My sister who is also a FReeper was one of the victims.
I have been sent to hospital with head trauma after an encounter with...
In all of this.
People like Cameron is lying through his teeth.
I am sure he knows it.
You have to go to people like Maajid Nawaz for some semblance of the truth.
And, yes.
I think the truth is now more important that even paras.
Without the truth, the paras will be rounding up internal UK dissenters.
We are of course not there yet.
But, we are on a trajectory which I find deeply troubling.
I hope you forgive me.
I spent many years here defending the UK.
I will buy you a few pints if you ever come to Norway.
Cheers,
Euro.
You are Norwegian?.
I love Norway!. Been several times, love the country and the people. Even now, I am loving the UK-Norw TV series called The Saboteurs. And Scandanavian TV and film is very hip in the UK at the moment.
If you ever come to Scotland, let me know, I will be happy to meet you and buy you a pint or two as well.
And we British will never forget the bravery of the people of Norway who stood up to the Nazis and helped defeat evil.
From the Free Norwegian Forces to the Resistance and ordinary civilians in Norway.
And who can dislike the land of the Vikings?. LOL
