A lot to be said for this NIK. Anyone aged 80 or over experienced a world war that the rest of us can never really understand or appreciate. As you say, they fought, many died, many suffered, yet we have young kids today who basically know nothing and have never suffered demeaning the very people who literally fought for our freedom. Irrespective of whatever newspaper they read they have truly earned respect and should be shown it..........
Better not mention those British Tommies that went to Kenya and Malaysia and demeaned those wanting the British Empire out.
