THINK about this: it is summer 1944 and a Second World War tank commander parks his Sherman for a while in a French village while a medic dresses his injuries (shrapnel) which were caused by German machine gun fire in his fight to free the French from the Nazi invaders.

Now, 70 years on, his (my) old injuries need some more attention and this time in Hereford County Hospital. So he parks his car in the hospital car park under the watchful eyes of the French (PFI contract), who immediately start to charge him one hell of a fee to park there.

Remember this: 1940s, freeing France from her enemy – no charge; 2015, ripped off by the French in an English car park while having that shrapnel removed – one hell of a charge.

Justice, what justice?

What has happened to the guys who sold these rights to some French outfit?

Remember the men from both world wars fought in France to get rid of the Nazis and free the French.

Now the English sell out to the French so that they can rip us off after we gave them freedom.

You do not hear of traitors these days, but that is what these Brits are. And which government collects the tax from this big business?
