Yes,... fully three quarters of a century since the Campaign "reached its height" ... aka 'The Hardest Day' of the War!
Amazing
I watched it on the radio

Just for clarity - Do 3 bullet points from the newspaper underneath the headline consititute a breach of rules ?
I'll summarise them just so people can get the gist of the article
1) Historical fighter aircraft flew over the South East today in the memory of those who lost their lives in the Battle of Britain
2) On 18 Aug 1940 the Germans started their boming campaign
3) Heroic RAF Pilots fought them and prevented the country being occupied by the Nazis
Please read the thread for the rules again.Originally Posted by Dedworth

You could always rewrite the bullet points Ded, only takes a minute.

It would be better if you can rewrite the articles if you want others to just read it all here.Just did took about 4 mins I'm a slow typer

A heading and the link is all that's needed here then, just as it states in the rules.That would take me about four hours

Wonderful stuff. We owe those lads and so many others from their generation so much.

I have just returned from Berlin and Germany, I am not so sure we won the war
I don't think everything in Germany will be sweetness and light for much longer though...with all 100s of 1000s of incomers (mainly muslims ?) their enlightened govt have so graciously admitted. Dafter than we are.

I know in a perfect (human) world we would all get along , but for the foreseeable future, I'm afraid that a few million years of behavioural evolution, plus the more recent effects of religious and cultural brainwashing will trump the few decades of good intentions and daydreams of the bleeding heart liberals.
The real world is a competitive, cruel and harsh place.
That what I could not understand, everywhere we went in Berlin all I saw working in shops was white Germans, there was a few foreign faces in the Hotel but I was surprised that there city has not been taken over like ours.
Our taxi driver when we arrived was a Malaysian, again from what I saw a rarity.
Great Britain has no meaning in respect to being great. This goes back hundreds of years when we ruled most of France
We were a big fish once,but I get sick of people saying how cruel we were when we dominated most of the world.I'm very proud of the Empire.
When people have a go about our wicked past I just say well it was survival of the strongest.
If we had been a backward nation we would have been ruled by others too.
Tens of thousands died because of the way we treated others. Back then we did things on a larger scale than what ISIS, the American 'founders', Portuguese, French, Spanish, etc, did around the world. Only the Nazi's caused bigger issues.

True but it gave us our place in the world and we have all benefited from our ill gotten gains as have many other countries.
I'm sure ISIS would say the same thing
Keith - Administrator
Different times Keith.Go back centuries everyone was fighting for dominance that's how it was. we have moved on now and become a truly modern caring nation.
ISIS is a disgusting evil organisation killing anyone who gets in their way.
Hundreds of years ago it would have been accepted no doubt but with today's technology and full insight into the news and how modern nations govern there is no excuse for such barbarity.
It was never accepted by those being abused, enslaved and murdered. It all depends which side of the fence you are on. Most of the countries in the Commonwealth would have looked upon Britain as we do ISIS today. The Philippines is only Catholic due to the Spanish convert or die policy.
As for a caring nation, we left the Palestinians to defend themselves after WWII, and have done a similar thing with Iraq and Libya after interfering, as well as standing back and watching while Assad murdered his people.
Keith - Administrator
Lessons learnt then. I'm talking about modern times we are a caring nation to the most.We cannot interfere with anymore countries in my opinion.Thanks to Blair being up Bush's .... it's created a much more dangerous place.So we left Assad to do as he wishes,would should we do if Putin kicked off further with Ukraine?
I think we should leave well alone now and let them all get on with it,not our fight and when we do try to help against dictators we seem to come off worse.
Without a doubt we should have left Saddam in power.
