Re: VE Day Archived Message Posted by Bigmartin on 8/5/2020, 1:03 am, in reply to "Re: VE Day" We're a country singularly incapable of looking back at anything other than the good parts. We're, for a want of explaining it any better, 'immature'. You can't even have an adult conversation with most people about the bad shit we did in WW2. The bad shit we did in Northern Ireland. Bad stuff we did in India. I once made the mistake of trying to argue with a friend of a friend who is ex-British Army on the subject of Bloody Sunday. Half an hour of my time wasted. It reminded me of the Blackadder Goes Forth Episode with the Spy... Captain Darling : So you see, Blackadder, Field Marshall Haig is most anxious to eliminate all these German spies. General Melchett : Filthy hun weasels, fighting their dirty underhand war! Captain Darling : And fortunately, one of our spies... General Melchett : Splendid fellows, brave heroes risking life and limb for Blighty!
