'This isn't the Britain we fought for,' say the 'unknown warriors' of WWII

Sarah Robinson was just a teenager when World War II broke out. She endured the Blitz, watching for fires during Luftwaffe air raids armed with a bucket of sand. Often she would walk ten miles home from work in the blackout, with bombs falling around her.

As soon as she turned 18, she joined the Royal Navy to do her bit for the war effort. Hers was a small part in a huge, history-making enterprise, and her contribution epitomises her generation's sense of service and sacrifice. Nearly 400,000 Britons died. Millions more were scarred by the experience, physically and mentally.

But was it worth it? Her answer - and the answer of many of her contemporaries, now in their 80s and 90s - is a resounding No

The problem is they will be dismissed by some as moaning pensioners as some always like to do here. Im bit surprised mail is pushing it though ..if it had been up to that organ the folk they interviewed would at one time been persuaded the nazis were no threat.

 

my father at 88 would say the same I would think,not saying there not right,but changes and the way we are postioned now,multicultural! it probably wasn't and isn't...

 

If the English think they are alone in the direction their country is headed they are sadly mistaken.Us yanks are in the same boat sadly.

 

I'd say the same for Canada.

I doubt any of our fallen WW 2 soldiers would even recognize their country today.

People are more skeptical of our politicians - which is good.
But they are also more cynical, disrespectful, impatient, greedy, grasping, self-centered, and infantile.

...to name just a few ;-).

In general I get the sense from people that "As long I get what I want, I couldn't give two sh*ts about what happens to Canada."

And it is that attitude that leaves our glorious dead restless in their graves.
