But given recent events more people will come to recall:

The only reason the Soviets fought the Nazis is that the Nazis reneged on their deal to divide up Europe between them.

If only there was a gif for these types of things.

My idea of a working class hero growing up.

Dave Sumner Smith @cooperian56 I really hope this doesn’t turn into another:

“The UK will have to adopt the Euro if it wants to rejoin the EU” thread.

This is simply not the case.
