This'll incense the Telegraph readers who all know the cheese-eating-surrender-monkeys didn't take part in D-Day, they were all too busy collaborating with the Kruats.

Remoaner nonsense, you'll be claiming next that Ed Miliband's Dad took part!

I'd never go that far, we know the whole thing was Winston Churchill, leading Thatcher, Reagan and Trump.

How typical you omit the role of Boris, let alone Tommy Throbbinsod.

The obvious candidate for the fourth plinth.

And the Queen Mum (GBH). Won two world wars for us, she did!

Telegraph readers have talked about little else for seven decades.
Churchill with Brian Cox is a good film about D Day from the British POV. It tells some myth busting truths about the decline of British power that they won’t want to hear.

[Andy McDandy]

The US has made 2 films about D-Day. The Longest Day, and Saving Private Ryan.

TLD went out of its way to include as many perspectives as possible. SPR is explicitly one group of people's D-Day story, among thousands. This is just whingeing about the Brits always being the supporting characters or villains.

Besides, in the last 20 years or so we've had Churchill bios starring Michael Gambon, Gary Oldman, Albert Finney and Brian Cox. Plus turns from the likes of Timothy Spall and Rod Taylor in other films. He's become the British Batman.

[Youngian]

He's become the British Batman.

That’s mainly Batman nowadays. And Neville Chamberlain’s cousin got to play his butler (Alan Napier).

And of course there were no British D Day films, too expensive. POW camps are far cheaper. As are North Africa set war movies on Camber Sands.

[Watchman]

As a sort of aside; my dad’s best man was a British Saving Private Ryan, he lost 4 brothers flying bombing raids (only 2 are burled), he was in the Army, so they made him a captain and gave him a desk job

I've never been a Telegraph reader and these days all the non-subscriber can see is the home page but fuck me, what a home page it is. It makes the Mail look like Socialist Worker.

Thirsty Alison Pearson has been down the village shop again. If I’m making sense of this piece she’s sick of respectable people like herself being called racists by the horrible woke lefties just because she blames immigrants for all the problems. Nigel will make her feel good about herself as Rishi and Dave are too weak to tell the libtards to belt up.

Nigel Farage is already the leader of the Conservatives

He makes for a stronger and more convincing Tory than Rishi Sunak – and I’m not alone in thinking that

The great immigration betrayal must rank as one of the most unforgivable things any political party has ever done to its supporters. It’s at the root of so many problems: housing, hospital queues, welfare benefits, crime. Having broken their promise in every Conservative manifesto since 2010 (David Cameron said numbers would come down to the “tens of thousands”), a self-soothing globalist elite set about limiting the topics it was permissible to discuss. A “bit of a dog whistle” could swiftly shut down anyone who demurred. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/columnists/ ... es-leader/

[RedSparrows]

Christ, it's the Baa Baa Black Sheep of 'debate'.

'You can't say anything' bla bla bla bla

All we ever fucking HEAR is ill-informed toss about immigration. All we ever fucking HEAR is Faragist hot air. There's no substance, there's no challenge, there's no thought. It's easy, lazy, shallow, selfish conceit, dressed up as the opposite. And it's dominant. It's absolutely everywhere. I can't stand them.

[Abernathy]

What utter bullshit. Immigration is not "at the root" of problems such as housing, education, healthcare, welfare benefits, and crime.

What is "at the root" of problems like these is serial government failure, particularly in the last 14 years, properly to invest in, resource, and provide the levels of infrastructure that an economy like the UK's needs. If we'd had a proper government, the UK could not only sustain, but actively benefit from even higher levels of immigration than there are now.

Blaming immigrants is, as ever, the stupid lazy cunt's first resort.

Elsewhere in the Telegraph we have more wit and wisdom from Alistair Health: " the public sector is lazy".

[satnav]

Last week the Telegraph ran a front page splash claiming that Labour's energy policy could lead to blackouts. Surely the Tory party's lack of a credible energy policy could equally lead to blackouts.

Strong words, coming from a scribbler who rotates the same three articles week on week.
