You're not in the same league as me academically I'm afraid. And certainly not financially.

HTH, BIDI, TSLITH.

It isn't entirely your fault.

Very few are......unless they have been formally categorized as "special needs".

Well you're slightly better off than JB I suppose.
He's slightly intelligent and relatively poor. Recipe for unhappiness.
You're stupid and poor. Happy as a dog wallowing in shit probably.

1914: How
The plan relied on fast movement and good timing. Swift mobilization and Germany’s efficient railways would get troops to the front quickly.

Of seven German armies on the Western Front at the start of the war, five were committed to the move through Belgium. To ensure the surrender of the Belgians, they had to destroy a series of concrete fortifications surrounding major cities. Most important were those around Liège.

On August 3, 1914, a 30,000-strong German detachment under General Otto von Emmerich crossed the border and headed straight for Liège. They attacked under cover of darkness, trying to break through the ring of forts, but were repulsed. When they reached the city a few days later, the forts still held out.

The Germans brought up heavy artillery, including their Big Bertha supergun and heavy Skoda howitzers borrowed from their Austro-Hungarian allies. They pounded the forts into submission.

The Belgians, led by King Albert, withdrew to the defenses around Antwerp, where they hoped to hold on. In the face of the massed German armies and their superguns, it was a futile hope.

1914: Outcome
By the end of August, most of Belgium had been conquered. Antwerp held out until October before surrendering.

3 months in all............just saying!

You are are also ignorant of history.

1940: How
On May 10, 1940, the Germans began their attack.

Again, they started by tackling the fortresses defending Belgian cities. A crack team of glider-borne paratroopers landed on the roof of the Eben Emael fortress. Within an hour, they had destroyed the guns of the imposing emplacement. The fortress’s garrison then surrendered to a much smaller German force.

It and other airborne operations paved the way for an advance by four army corps and one armored corps. While bombing struck terror into the population, they swept forward. The Belgian line collapsed on May 11, and German troops swept around Liège.

Meanwhile, the main attack came further south. German armored columns raced through the Ardennes forest, crossing Luxembourg and southern Belgium. The Allies had considered the area impassable to an army. They were proven badly wrong. German forces emerged from the forest to attack the weakest part of the Allied lines.

1940: Outcome
The result was far more decisive than in WWI.

By May 19, the British were preparing for a retreat. On the 25th, they ordered their troops to withdraw to Dunkirk for evacuation.

Without British assistance, Belgium could not stand. Its army broke on the 27th. On May 28, only 18 days after the invasion began, King Leopold surrendered unconditionally to the Germans.

Fook me..............they got even worse!! If only they had an EU Army back then...........

Now why not stick to commenting upon things you have a grasp about? Like horses....or potatoes.....or Leprachauns......or Poteen?

Unlike you, I studied quantitative disciplines at proper universities

Which is why you aren't a "contender" and you say things like "contender".

You should have worked harder at school, done one or two hard subjects.
You might have been a contender then.

And those on the breadline, but with more money than brains, will be going to Portugal.

ah you are losing again, you have resorted to personal attacks not logic.

That's not losing. It's the victory lap.

[Old Greg]

You mean the channel islands we abandoned, of course they should have fought the Nazis with their last cup of tea & scone.

Sorry how about the IRA and the Germans?

You are a sick man...

You are are also ignorant of history. If you want to talk about surrender, then how about the Channel Islands where the police and officials cooperated with the SS. How about the British in Jersey reporting escaped POWs?

How about the UK aristocracy making arrangements with the Germans in order to keep their position and wealth if the UK were occupied?

Don't mind Shauny. He received a head injury after heavy fighting when he tried to serve 3rd Company corned beef fritters three nights running.

He's forgotten about the Fall of Singapore among other large scale British capitulations.

Bringing skilled immigrants into the UK will be good for the economy, but it will get very ugly when they out-compete the 52% of the British electorate that is cognitively impaired.

Oh you mean the remainers brainwashed by the education system?


How young and old would vote on Brexit now - BBC News

If there were to be a second referendum now, 52% would vote Remain and 48% Leave, an average of polls over the past three months suggests.

Assuming the skill they posses is to work for less money (the majority of EU workers I have seen have been in low paid jobs). We did have a few "Vortuguese" (Venezuelans with Portuguese grandparents like the Irish) in higher paid jobs. Then yes the 18-24's voting remain will really appreciate being undercut.

here's the beeb being forced to admit it and try to put a spin on it,

Reality Check: Do foreign workers take jobs and cut wages? - BBC News

It found that the area in which there had been the greatest effect on wages had been for semi-skilled and unskilled workers in the services sector, where a 10 percentage point increase in the proportion of immigrants working in the sector would be associated with a 1.88% reduction in pay.

Of course wages haven't risen appreciably because there are cheap staff out there, this is just talking about wages falling due to oversupply.

Well someone needs to negotiate their habitual surrenders!!
