A complete insult to my grandparents generation.

We’ve become scared of our own history and consumed with wokeness.

I won’t say I’m past caring, I’m just so angry about stuff like this that I have to try not to think about it too much as it just eats away at me.

All I can do is make sure my grandkids know our history and the truth and not just the shy te they are being fed at school and by media.
Disgrace isn't it. I volunteer for some sessions of Suss ex At War where we go into schools and talk to year 6 about many aspects of life specifically in 1940 . Not one of the class of 31 today knew what The Battle of Britain was let alone what was so very important about it. And not only to Britain.

How many 10 year old French kids do you think don't when Bastille Day is?

How many Russian kids Victory Day.

How many American kids don't know when Independence Day is or Pearl Harbour?

And every Aussie kid knows when ANZAC day is and Australia Day. Just about the only day celebrated for the arrival of a British fleet!

Still they'll all be able to tell me when Halloween is. Grrrrrr.
