VE Day

[1959_60]

It should be one of those national feel good days today. We had a hell of a lot to feel good and proud of as a nation.

It must have been a very special day back in 1945.

I live with my Dad (92) and my Mother in law (96) and they have been telling us about VE Day.

Let's hope we have another VE Day soon - Virus Eradication Day.

We need to stop this nostalgia nonsense.

We fought. We won.

Let's move on?

.

who Won ?.....not the 85 million + who died, or their families.....etc.

....in numbers, some suffered a lot more than others.

That is exactly why I say, let's stop these jingoistic pi-ssups. Half of the eejits who flaunted the lockdown advice today are the same eejits who deny the Holocaust and have no idea almost 20 million Russians died because of fascism.

Let's stick to Remembrance Sunday in future please, to honour all of the men and women who have died to provide us all with freedom? Pity we are now allowing the apparatus of the state to take that same freedom away.

Unfortunately 59er this battle will not have an end day. It will run and run, especially so with the amount of eejits running up and down our streets yesterday. Morons rule OK.

In a world of negative media,deaths and suffering I’ll take a bit of positive in what ever form it arrives in, I know this much it made a lot of the older generation happy singing along to Vera ( we’ll meet again - rang out in our back garden anyway. ).
It’s sometimes easy to forget just what happend and also what an amazing country we are.

I saw footage emerging out of Finsbury Park yesterday.

I saw footage of our police tasering a black guy in front of his daughter on a garage forecourt the day before.

Our country does not look very "amazing" to me.

I wonder how many eejits are also unaware that 20 million Russians died because of Communuism ?

"A Soviet weekly newspaper today published the most detailed accounting of Stalin's victims yet presented to a mass audience here, indicating that about 20 million died in labor camps, forced collectivization, famine and executions. The estimates, by the historian Roy Medvedev, were printed in the weekly tabloid Argumenti i Fakti, which has a circulation of more than 20 million. The estimated number of deaths is about equal to the number of Soviet soldiers and civilians believed killed in World War II."

Would it have been OK had it been a white guy ? Just asking like ?
