What is everyone's thoughts on the current situation with Russia?
We lack the muscle and power to go against them alone.
Maybe, but we did it once before in 1939
Maybe, but we did it once before in 1939
We did what before in 1939?
Took on a superior force
And what ultimately led to the scuppering of the Nazi's conquest of Europe in the 40's?
With a little help from our friends across the pond and Ironically Russia. We were on our own for nigh on 2 years except for some arms that the yanks supplied a year into the war,
There is also another instance of the United Kingdom engaging an enemy nation and winning against all the odds, yes you’ve guessed it the Falklands War, for those too young or those that are not aware of realativly recent history we sent a task force half way across the world and defeated a not inconsiderable enemy on their doorstep.
Around the same time there was the Iranian Embassy siege, where the SAS stormed the building and shot dead 5 Arab terrorists, if it were to happen today I should imagine the SAS would be under orders to make sure a few white folk were shot in the interests of PC
Anyone guess the common denominator in the above events, well dont think too long I’ll tell ya, 2 single minded and strong PMs who had the UKs interests at heart, and would not take s###e from the rest of the world,
Oh how times have changed
Ironic, eh?
I think nearly all historians will tell you that it was the Russians that defeated the Krauts.Meant to mention, Europe were no use to us then either
I think nearly all historians will tell you that it was the Russians that defeated the Krauts.
Not single handedly, admittedly, but Russians killed about five times the number of Fritz as the allies (depending on how you count them).
The eastern front was not only responsible for destroying millions of Hun, it also had some really, really important battles.
The Bosch were knackered, on their knees, by the time of the d-day landings.
About the only metric where the allies did "better" was on was number of Square-heads captured.
The allies definitely helped, but we didn't destroy Jerry.
I'd continue, but I'm all out of pejoratives for sausage-suckers.
RUBBISH!
I think you'll find the turning point was when GREAT BRITAIN said to 'itler "Have you any idea who you are dealing with?"
Thinking about it.
If we wanted to work out who defeated Hitler, the answer would be Hitler.
Hitler killed 100% of the Hitlers.
See, he wasn't all bad.
Just been listening to my local radio phone in concerning pc in the workplace and in general, in the studio was a female expert on such things who is in the process of making a tv documentary on the subject, the D J made a point of saying if he compliments a female member of staff on a new outfit he immediately qualifies this by saying I hope you don’t mind me saying, the expert on these things said that is the correct way of complimenting someone as it give that person an opportunity to reject the compliment, is it me or is this P C gone mad ?
