On 3rd November, 2009 at 1500 CET, The United Kingdom ceased to exist as a Sovereign Nation, when Czechoslovakia signed the Lisbon Treaty. The Sovereign Nations of Europe are now just part of the new European Union Empire.My father fought in a World War and my Grandfather was killed in one to prevent a day such as this.

This is worth a bit more publicity, hence my post. From Pastor Dave's blog:

  These people call my house several times per day, including weekends.  For many weeks I simply would not answer, since I do not know anyone from Mason, Ohio.  I am pretty sure no one from there has an interest in attending my church or receiving counseling from me, and it is not on my list of places to visit.  Then one day I picked up the phone to see what was going on. ...............

You might have some advice for him, that has not already been given.

In 1909, Britain funded the construction of an Airship for naval duties.
In 2009 The Fleet Air Arm celebrated 100 years in a ceremony in London. See "Royal Navy aircraft fly past HMS Illustrious, moored on the Thames" from The Daily telegraph

"Last week, the variety of white fish known as pollack was renamed Colin by Sainsbury's. Apparently, over many sad and fearful years, customers have just been too embarrassed to say the word pollack. So they have continued to play it safe, and request cod instead - despite it being three times more expensive than pollack, and at risk from over-fishing. They asked for cod, that is, until Sainsbury's stepped in, with its “Colin” solution."
