The dead and respect

You would have to visit a car park in Cornwall to see a very small insignificant memorial for the greatest raid of all

https://youtu.be/nXusKM5uX0s

It is there as a tiny reminder to men , men who took bravery to another level yet never shouted about it as all over the uk brave men were doing their thing ... that was just the way it was back then when men were men



Today however men are mice , a generation of gender fluid snowflakes who cry when they lose their iPhone , believe bravery is going on Jeremy Kyle and heroes are someone in reality tv

What a difference this country has made...

To itself !!!!


The Bomber Command Memorial in Green Park was damaged overnight
It's been targeted at least four times since £7m monument was opened in 2012
Scotland Yard is investigating and have been handed CCTV of the paint attack
Pilot Vernon Morgan, 97, tells MailOnline: 'It’s a disgrace. They gave their lives'
A memorial to the British airmen who died fighting in the Second World War has been badly damaged again - the fourth time in six years - by vandals who appear to have also spray-painted a statue of Winston Churchill.

Re: The dead and respect

I blame lack of education for a lot of these things, as a parent it's your job to teach your children about these heroic people and why we should respect them. I'd be mortified if a child of mine attacked a monument to bravery or even a common grave of a normal person. It's lack of showing by example and taking kids to show them these things and how to behave around them. Much like parents moaning when their kids swear as they swear at them for doing it.

Re: The dead and respect

A very moving documentary. I had never heard of that story before. Amazing the ship was disabled & couldn't be repaired & then sunk elsewhere having never sunk a single ship itself. I had heard about the sinking of the Tirpitz but not about the raid on the dry dock.

Re: The dead and respect

It's because of those brave airmen that pond life like those responsible were able to deface the memorial....Try doing that in North Korea or China....

Re: The dead and respect

I always hope that when they catch the people doing this that they have to turn a paper on the history of the memorials to the court, and then have to stand at attention and protect the memorial in eight hour shifts for a substantial amount of time.

Re: The dead and respect

What is it about blacks ???

Are they born with a chip on their shoulder that makes them hate being here ? Be it crime , gangs, life or anything they seem to take an opposite view to everyone else

People gave their lives so the likes of him could study at Birmingham.
Why doesn't he go and spout his shite in Zimbabwe.
