Why has it taken so long for a minority of adults in this country to realise this truth when an ordinary kid recognised it and argued it over 60 years ago?
The brainwashing of the British public had started even back then 'flecc' and you'll remember Churchill made the most of his recently acquired adulation as the saviour of the nation and indeed the world. Even as children, we were fed a diet of the likes of 'Commando', a comic-type magazine for young lads which depicted British soldiers as supermen killing nazis.
Basically, the story was similar in many ways to 'Roy of the Rovers' a blonde (seemed almost Aryan?) superhero, except it indoctrinated our young people with the sure knowledge that it was Britain that won the war; that we were the best at everything; it was Britain that invented everything worth inventing including football and we were the best at that too….ok, England were thrashed 6-3 by the Hungarians at Wembley in 1953 but we were conditioned to think of that as a freak result, a blip, probably never to be repeated. Sadly, for England, the opportunity for revenge occurred a few months later in 1954 but that turned out to be another blip, this time a comprehensive 7-1 defeat……but we all carried on regardless!
Undeterred, and the little matters of the Singapore surrender and the evacuation of Dunkirk firmly buried by the British media, we young people could attend school with our heads held high because, 'We won the war! - We won the war!' chanted at frequent intervals made us feel good; assured us that it is the British who are the real master race, not the defeated Germans! Indeed, our world maps in our school classrooms portrayed clearly that Britain owned half the planet as all the pink bits were ours!
Fast-forward half a century or so and the unrelenting mind-bending practised incessantly by the BBC, SKY and the mainstream press on behalf of the tory government and their friends and benefactors in the British establishment, continues unabated. Add to that the hand-me-down tales from misinformed parents already brainwashed to children, generation after generation and it's not hard to see why we have a nation of people, wholly incapable of understanding logic and truth, such is the success of lifelong brainwashing through propaganda.
It follows that after a diet of lifelong jingoism at home, at school, at work, at football matches and so on, what is correctly described as racism is rife in many strata of society and the arrogance that accompanies such beliefs has manifested itself in holiday resorts all over Europe since the early days of the package holiday.
Those people who thought it a great idea to vote to leave the EU should have done some research and should have exercised great care about what they wished for!
It isn't too late to turn things around and if anyone thinks Theresa May's judgement and leadership is better now as PM than it was as Home Sec, they really need treatment.
While he may not agree with anything else that flowed from my hands in this piece, I feel secure in the knowledge that 'Tillson' will share my opinion of the idiot woman keeping the seat warm for a real PM…..oh, 'flecc' too won't be upset to read any criticism of May, a failure twice in high office now.

While I'm not sure about the previous owner having no further need of them, they're nevertheless all yours 'tommie' and they'll fit as one size fits all trolls.
