I remember the first day of the Second World War. I was in Westminster. Are we going to have lease-lend from the US again?
They came into the war two years after us, in 1941, when Pearl Harbor was bombed.
For a long time afterwards, we were paying for their old ships they lease-lent us.
I think lots of people have forgotten this.
