What was the name of that British king who invited Hengist and Horsa

WWII. That's got to be a record.

It took the UK until 2006 to pay back the loans made by USA and Canada
during WW2.


When Britain tried to weasel out of WWI debt, Calvin Coolidge famously
said 'They hired the money, didn't they?'

Coolidge saw through that blustering windbag Churchill. Churchill should
have retired to a farm and raised collies after his WWI disgrace rather
than fomenting another war trying to prove a hero. He was as wrong
headed as G.W. Bush trying to show pops how it is done.
