Still an unfortunately relevant sentiment, whether it's war or something entirely different.

 

Try this if you want to try something a lot older.

Excellent 2/3 slade,, Thunderbirds is the original puppets (before Mcbusted were born!), with Regards Vaughn Toulouse think more Jason King than Peter Wyngarde! , the Rats I think it was just JT All the rest spot on

 

The Thunderbirds was The Shadows...and I'm ****ing losing it.
