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.

We mainly provided positives getting a lot of them out of the stone age. Law, language, security, trade, transport, education etc
On independence the colonies were left with a proper economic, political and social infrastructure which many of them subsequently screwed up. Just compare prosperous stable Malaysia with basket case Zimbabwe
What you see as giving good to another country is seen as colonization and domination by the natives. The list of this is endless. Are the Native Americans better off for being virtually wiped out by Europeans? Definitely not. Are many of the countries in Africa that we took slaves from at the same level of living as us today? No. Are the tribes in the Amazon better off? No.
We like to think we have done them a favour, but there is still a lot of resentment to this day. It is no different than if the Philippines was part of Japan today, or Britain's all belonged to Germany. Neither of them positive from where I sit.

None of the above examples can be blamed on the British Empire or legacy thereof I thought you were talking about ISIS & Holocaust type atrocities. Native Americans were killed after the War of Independence, Slavery was abolished 1833 when the Empire was not at it's zenith, we didn't colonise South America
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
