Probably the most important anniversary in History

All the wankers using this thread for a political point scoring exercise should hang your heads in shame.

Never forget.

That first scene in Saving Private Ryan still gives me a knot in the stomach.
Just jumping in that cold sea with all your gear is enough to put you off.

Incredibly brave and we owe so much to them.

Read the first paragraph.

I did. It was hijacked in post 2, by someone who then liked your post complaining about the thread being hijacked

Without irony

You have no idea on what their views would be
To assume all veterans (alive and) deceased think like your sort beggars belief

A good point, similarly they weren’t all left wing.

I was acknowledging my mistake and I must say it's the first time I have done this on the main forum and I hold my hands up. He did start the post though with division saying people want to undo these freedoms they fought for but failed to mention who he believes these people are.

My grandad was the gaffer of the scaffolders for the building of the Mulberry harbours, always makes me think of him. So many brave, and terrified-but-still-brave men pouring onto the beaches or parachuting inland, such a huge logistical effort to make it all happen, and they managed to keep the whole plan from the Germans. An incredible feat.

We agreed a date on that yet ?

25th of December mate.

We agreed a date on that yet ?

Views on homosexuality, pro nouns and the role the wife should play in a marriage were very different than the consensus today so I think they would.

So, modern day Trumpistan.

There’s a couple of excellent podcast series on D-Day, if anyone is interested.

“We have ways of making you talk” with Al Murray and one of the Holland brothers did an excellent break down and really detailed. I think it was released on DDAY80 so you’ll have to scroll back a couple of years.

I’ve just finished the Noiser Network version too. That’s part of the Hitler series from 2024.

Both excellent.

Dear me...

It's important to honour the sacrifice of those who died for @King Durin 's right to be relentlessly tedious 24 hours a day

 

[Cult of Personality]

It just proves it's another word which has been over used by the far left.

For someone that claims to have not voted you certainly bang on about the ‘far left’ in seemingly every single thread you appear on, even if there’s no relation.

Absolute unhinged weirdo.

June 6 D Day landings
The carnage on the beaches was just incredible
How brave those men were and sadly there are many in our midst want to undo the freedoms that arose from that bravery

Mainly working class men, doing their bit for King and country -the type of people you clearly despise -nice try though.

Got married on the 6th June.No longer with her

Juno you're better off without her.

My old man, born in 1924, ended up in Burma in 1943. Six weeks by ship and rail it took. Poor lads must have been terrified.

and yours tbh.

The OP is class.

He always catches a few.

 

[John Steed]

Yep immediately he comes on , like many of his fellow travellers he makes it a right v left where the right are the good guys, the left are bad lads
Our forebears tossed away their lives making a better world for those disgusting people

TBF you dragged politics into the thread with the last line in your op. You got what you wanted, it's turned into another left v right hate thread.

TBF you dragged politics into the thread with the last line in your op. You got what you wanted, it's turned into another left v right hate thread.

as do most threads on here nowadays. instigated by the same old tedious, boring posters on both sides of the left/right coin.
tbh, this place has been ruined massively of late by those who obviously aren't getting the validation they crave on the politics forum.
