There's more money in the UK now than there has ever been, even with the disasterous Brexit
The only reason there's 'no money' is because the richest are robbing it from you on Food, Energy, Water, Mortgages, Rent, Loans and everything else at a record rate
Then paying zero tax

I'm sure we're going to see the very people who have trashed its legacy seek to appropriate WW2 today - so let's remember what was really fought for: peace, a more united Europe, a land fit for heroes (mark 2) and the defeat of fascism.
