D-Day plus 70 years

[CB_1874]

Jeremy Vine is broadcasting his show from HMS Belfast, the ship that fired the first shots on D Day. It carried 900 men.
Watching and listening to some of the brave men that were there that day makes you feel very humble.
My dad's parents died in the war and my mums dad fought for us. I know he would be gutted that Salmond is trying to break us away from the rest of Britain
Unbelievable bravery and sacrifice all these men and women made for all of us in Great Britain.
Makes me unbelievably proud to be British

That post has moved me to tears.

On the contrary, I think the liberators will be pleased that the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is a free country where neo-n@zis like Poguemahone are allowed to spout their racist bile.

You do quite a lot of U turns regarding Islam and immigration. Ffs make yer mind up.

My mind is made up. I abhor organised religion as it hinders the individual's own spirituality.

I would like to see these people integrated into British society, rather than sent back to the countries they or their family came from - which seems to be Pogue's stance.

my late mother lost 3 uncles in the war.

1 killed by american "friendly" fire, 2 of them after the war had ended and on the way home, they hit a mine off the south coast.

The greatest thanks to those that died so that we can live the lives we choose. Not forgotten

Respects to all who took part, no matter their flag or uniform, who gave so much more than any of us on here can imagine.

Good to see Angela Merkal present too. Wasn't just Allied troops who followed orders and took up arms. It's called moving on - take note those with Oirish Republican chips on their shoulders.
