/// But I cannot help observing the grotesque irony that in the capital of Germany this deluded woman should have spoken of how ‘England’s fascistic side’ affected the British view of Germany and World War II. ///

/// She even had the nerve to grumble about being ‘completely brainwashed’ by films she saw in her childhood showing the British ‘being marvellous and beating the Nazis’. ///

You can't get any more anti-British than that.

/// May I suggest ///

/// May I suggest that you mentally absent yourself from the 'majority' of Mail readers - as do I ///

Mentally absenting yourself as you do????????

Who is the one who is always attacking Mail Readers?

[ummmm]

Now you really look like you're baiting, AOG.

ummm - I'm minded of a dog chasing a car ...

Schools on half term, why don't some of you grow up, am I the first to make a simple typo mistake?

// She even had the nerve to grumble about being ‘completely brainwashed’ by films ... showing the British ‘being marvellous and beating the Nazis’.//

well of course we dont know the films she was shown and brainwashed by - golly I am glad she realised it and turned into the aware lady she is !

Brief Encounter - Ice Cold in Alex - do they show the Brits as wonderful ?
What about "The Hill" ?

Emmas difficulty as every Mad reader knows is that the
germans who were bad are now good - very good since last week
the russians who were good in the thirties were bad after the Nazi Soviet pact of 1939 and then were good after Hitler invaded Russia 1941 and then were bad after 1945 and then were good after the USSR fell and have recently become bad in Ukraine and elsewhere

and as Art imitates Life - no wonder emma is confused !
any film goer or luvvie would be

I have been looking at this leftie/righty thread throughout the day, a couple of hours ago something dawned on me

All the known mods seem to be lefties ... is that a fair comment?

[AB Editor]

Stop it, both of you.

[anotheoldgit]

/// but it's rather like shouting into a cave, you only get your own echo back. ///

Then that should make you happy because you must also enjoy the sound of your own voice, just as you enjoy looking at your own posts.

PP - Emma Thompson made a larger point than the narrow snippet provided in the newspaper extract.

AB Editor - //Stop it, both of you. //

I think you are being ignored by one AB'er.

Okay Ed.

[Svejk]

You've just noticed, Talbot? lol.

[-Talbot-]

Or the Ed and AOG crossed posted, andy?

[Svejk]

^There's Leon, now.

Talbot - //All the known mods seem to be lefties ... is that a fair comment? //

Not really, I am not a 'lefty' for one - and I am sure that political affiliations, confessed or assumed, are a prerequisite for the task.

[-Talbot-]

Yes I have, sven. Maybe there are plenty of rightie mods but they haven't declared themselves as mods?

[AB Editor]

I don't think they are Talbot. Can we not add a "moderation is totally unreasonable because I once had a rude word taken off" layer to the fighty bits of this thread please?

[Svejk]

They have a 'token' neutral, Boo. But only because she's easily corrupted. ;)

Svejk - //They have a 'token' neutral, Boo. But only because she's easily corrupted. ;) //

That is an assumption - as are any comments about the politics of Moderators - which are irrelevant as well I think.
