Royal Mail is being sold to the Germans and the Queens Head which has featured on British stamps since they were invented will soon disappear, not to be replaced. Is there anything British the Government wont sell for a quick buck? My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

The monarch has been on our stamps since 1840. Edited by: Paul Hilton at:20th December 2010 20:00 My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

Where is the pride in the government making your own country work without selling off everything? It is so outrageous to me they might as well give it all away. Then they can sit back in their easy chair, drink their booze and count their money and think of no one but themselves. Is obvious that's what they are doing now.

Get them out and replace them with those who WOULD be died in the wool British ONLY supporters...make it work for US...the BRITISH PEOPLE... but that's just my view and I apologize if it offends anyone...that is not my intent to offend...

We are all but a spent force I reckon. Oh and just to keep things on a level playing field Mike it was your Labour man Gordon Brown who sold our gold, not David Cameron....and he sold it for a pittance!! However, I am totally disgusted at the way our assets are being eroded. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

I agree Beth! Where are the supporters of keeping the country together? Maybe it should be off with the heads of those who do not support the country. I have always had such pride in my English background through my family history. And having a last name of England was so special to me. Hearing of things like this it slowly eats away at that pride.

The RAF and RN HARRIER jump jet, vertical take off and landing. This aircraft entered service in the 70's just as I was leaving. Whilst the rest of the world tried to build a practical Vtol, we did. The aircraft was later used on our carriers and even the united states bought the licence to build them. It proved itself in the falklands conflict, Bosnia and lately in Iraq and Afghanistan. We are now left with no replacement. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawker_Siddeley_Harrier My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions
