I have just returned from another visit to a battlefield that determined, and this one very decisively, the course of English history. The Battle of 1066, the so called Battle of Hastings, actually fought at Battle in East Sussex, 7 miles inland from the town of it's name.
I went there this time with one of my grandson's, 8 years of age, who has hooked into the subject of history and the mathematical numbers involved. Whilst going around the scene of this great battle, thinking of the numbers involved that day, it made me think, even as a women, how grateful I am to live in 2019 and 'suffer' the constant torture of BREXIT now.
The Battle of 1066 was fought on the 14th October. The 'battle' of BREXIT is
possibly being 'fought' throughout October, with it
maybe coming to a head on the 31st. The Battle of 1066, the last of three that year, which was again to decide the rulers of England. BREXIT is a battle for the future of England and who ultimately rules us.
It was a bloody, gruesome battle, beyond what was considered 'normal' for that era. I will not go into graphic detail as some may well object to that, but thousands died, or were dying in absolute agony, piled up on the field of conflict like no other time. Everyone, including me, living today, women as well as men, both of which could find themselves fighting a war, should just pause in the current "B" battle and thank God that in another age, like 1066, the political game over England's future being played out would not be a war of words, and a frustrating media circus, but men having to fight physically hand to hand, with an almost certain end in a way that no-one now would wish on anyone. No rockets, nuclear devices, or just bullets to bring about a quick merciful end at the hands of someone very distant from us.
So this current 'battle' on English soil is not o bad afterall!
