Was it worth the sacrifice.

At its most fundamental level, our relatives fought for freedom: the freedom to say and do what we want within the confines of the Law. I think abusing the OP and - by extension - criticising people's choice of political party is hypocritical and unnecessary.

Freedom of speech etc... doesn't mean you're free from criticism. People are free to have an opinion, and others are free to disagree with and dislike said opinions. As long as they aren't actually stopping you from having those opinions by physical violence, sending you to prison etc... then it seems to be the very definition of freedom to disagree with and criticise someone.

No, posters are simply exercising that hard won freedom

Very true, it just goes to show that there really are two sides to all arguments. It's good to be open-minded, and tolerant - which is something else society in general should support.

Not meaning to come across as patronising of course by saying this :p

So, bloody Oscar Garcia, eh? Coming over here and stealing our loyalty.

With posters like this, who needs wallpaper?

Even asking the question, "Was it worth the sacrifice?" is a disastrous post.

Well, yes, we didn't give in and we stopped Hitler from murdering many more millions, if he had his way.

What a dill.

If the men & women who fought the two world wars could look down on the UK now 70 years on would they be proud of what they gave they're lives for?


England's standing as a respected leading nation has disintegrated and were not longer leaders in the field for technical advances and pioneering developments.


We no longer have a nation with a good work ethic and breed those who think world owes a living and want to do nothing for there fellow man or even improve themselves.



Customers no longer regard "made in Britain" as sign of quality.
That accolade now go's to Germany ironically.


If there was another world war would multicultural Britons all bear arms with a bulldog spirit and stand alongside each other to protect our shores? I very much doubt it.


What went wrong for us? Other nations, supposedly 3rd world are advancing far faster then we have,
Is it because we have made life to cushy for ourselves with social housing, NHS benefit system ect


I believe if they could see us now they would wonder why they gave the're lives so we could live in a free world, they would be with us.

Don't do it mate, The Samaritans are on the way ! .....You shouldn't let our crap performances in Brazil get you down. :)

WTF has that, if it were true, to do with the NHS and social housing?

It all makes for easy living. No reason to want to got out to work.
If you give someone everything they want, health care, a home, a pension for which they have to do nothing in return, what reason do they have to want to go out to work.
