Ve Day Celebrations

[diddlydo]

At the risk of encouraging TTT to employ all his usual acronyms etc etc and accustaions of "anti-British" I urge you to read the following:
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/may/06/ve-day-heroes-patriotic-multicultural-britain

BTW - I'm very patriotic and in no way "anti-British" but I won't be singing on my doorstep tomorrow.

Diddlydoo should come up to Glasgow,TWT.We have IRA marching bands befouling our streets every second weekend.But those type of military bands Dild..Diddlydoo would prefer.

[steg]

the ira bands sound better than the uda bands that we also get, music wise

[ynnafymmi]

If the IRA bands want to annoy people they should go back where they belong and take a few others with them,go back to Ireland.We dont want your kind defouling our Scottish streets.

Lol

The Guardian never misses a chance to belittle the achievements of the country. Even today's crossword makes its contribution (thanks Nutmeg, you miserable...) -

England insignificant in the past (7)

Today of all days! And she hasn't even managed to get the correct definition (but that's par for the course - The Guardian is more famous for its errors than anything else).

Thanks diddlydo for the link. 100% agree with the sentiment!

Nice one

Polish view

"There was a craven desire not to antagonise Stalin. in actual factthere was no victory for Poland. It effectively lost the war as a result of decision made at Yalta in Feb 1945. Its eastern marches were absorbed into the Soveit Union whilst the rest fell under Stalinist control."
letter io the Times from Mike Olizar

no wonder there is an appetite from the usual suspects to celebrate the English part and ignore any larger picture

[diddlydo]

Professor Maisie - you're clearly not a fan of cryptic crosswords or you wouldn't have made yourself look stupid regarding your interpretation of Guardian cryptic 7ac.

And to whoever mentioned why I dislike of military marches - because they glorify war. It's that simple.

[ynnafymmi]

@13.25.Of course you agree with Dildoody,you are just another Brit hater,sp.Hate Britain,love the dole money.

[Mozz71]

Wow. While I don't agree with the arguments made in the article, that's one hell of a stream of abuse to throw at someone for having a different opinion to you ynnafymmi.

Remind me not to disagree with you anytime soon.

[iluvmargie]

Why not Mozz, you disagree with practically everybody else!

[Mozz71]

No, I disagree with those I think are wrong. It might seem more often to you, as you're so frequently wrong.

[ynnafymmi]

Hope not hate,Mozz.I dont like Brit haters or IRA scum or their apologists.Sorry,signed Little miss angry.

[Mozz71]

I'm still scared. *Gives ynnafymmi chocolate and booze to help sedate the fury* ;-)

[ynnafymmi]

Thanks,Mozz,but i dont need them.(i will still take them,of course).I just dont like the streets of my beautiful country(Scotland)being defiled and befouled by terrorists or their apologists.

[ProfessorMaisie]

I can only think you've become disconnected from reality, diddlydo - perhaps you'd like to enlighten us?

[Mozz71]

Down south we have pikeys galore, bit no terrorists. Guess we got lucky :)

[ynnafymmi]

Yes,nowadays,Mozz.Once upon a time the IRA were murdering anyone they found down in England.Young,old,male,female.Psychopaths......and we still have their apologists on this site today.Unfortunately.
