Regarding Brexit maybe he will be able to tell us if we are keeping our own armed forces or using the proposed EU army? If anyone is going from Hereford are they able to offer a lift?

A long long time ago I used to eat my primary school dinners in this hall.  The school was next door.  The dinner lady was a wonderful lady and a wonderful cook called Mrs Seaborne.  There you are a little bit of knowledge!
