For whatever reasons, apologists and revionist ‘historians’ are trying to undermine the importance of Britains contribution to the allied effort in WW2.

Having grown up in Elvington, I’m all too aware of the sacrifice made by many French servicemen, in the defence of our island, and I’m eternally grateful to them. However, many French do resent our actions, and there is certainly an undeniable dislike towards the British in a sizeable part of their population.

I’m much the same, unfortunately there seems to be plenty of ‘adults’ in the UK who won’t accept responsibility for their own actions.

Infact, you could probably describe many of the late Baroness Thatchers detractors in the same way.
