    No Muslim Demos in Ireland…

    The only problems of this kind that we see are usually from the mindless far right headbangers who are trying to use racial predudice to inflame feelings and promote their own agenda of division,hatred and racial division..thankfully they are few and far between .

    If you want to talk about problems caused by Religion what about the disgusting abuse of children by various ” Christian ” clergy or the totally dispicable treatment of dead babies ?

    Didn’t they have some terrible plans for the male populace if the invasion was successful (mass exterminations to crush resistance) or is that just a fable?

    Well there was a list of ” undesirables” that would have been picked up and disappeared and i seem to remember that there were plans to deport suitable males to workcamps…after segregrating suitable children for indoctrination. The end plan was to ” eliminate” the non-germanic male in a relatively short number of years

    There have been far too many miscarriages of justice to allow the Death penalty to be commonplace again.. Its easy to say hang ’em all but how would you feel if it was a member of your family in the chair and they were later found to be totally innocent?

    But anyway surely the best punishment for any of these thugs is to deny them the right to walk the streets??? Lock them up for life where appropriate and life imprisonment should mean life …and not the comfortable junket that is the case now.

    Hard labour for the rest of their days with no chance of early release unless they are proven to be innocent.

    Sealion..

    What about the invasion that didnt happen? Sealion would make a fascinating “what if it had happened ” subject….imagine Tiger Moths fitted out with bomb racks, plenty of low level Spits and Hurris ..magic !

    I’m not sure you have the idea that Dad’s Army was a comedy.
    and not a military black comedy like MASH or Blackadder IV…
    It really wasn’t about the war, it was more about a group of dissimilar men working together.
    In this case, they were brought together by the war, but I’m sure it could have happened under other circumstances as well (say a police force or office…wow, there’s two more ideas for successful comedy shows 🙂 ).

    As for anyone dying, their cause of death would be more likely from heart disease or lung cancer brought on by the eating and smoking habits of the time.

    It ‘s more of Last of the Summer Wine than Patton.

    A very good comparison !

    It was after all a comedy and good comedy as well..but i think that it still managed to convey the fact that they would have fought, maybe not very effectively , but definately they would have fought.

    How quickly history is forgotten

    A great article by someone who obviously spoke from the heart.

    I only hope that that other “journalist” has enough cop-on to know she should hang her head in shame.

    But then the sad reality is that she is probably in the majority not the , I wonder how many members of the general public know who Dowding, Harris, Badar, Eisenhower, Patton or Montgomery were or what they did ?
