    Seriously???!!!

    The 1941 example is particularly insulting and ironic given Japanese aggression and atrocities against her own country and who it was who helped them. Just unbelievable. Well, it’s not really is it.

    1861 eludes me completely, it was a Civil War yer daft bleeding mare…bit like you had!

    Obviously she got it right about 1775 and 1812 though :-P :D.

    What a ignorant dumbass.

    Some of don't see it as a civil war, as the Confederacy wasn't trying to overthrow the US government and were invaded by a foreign country.
    Hey, hey!

    I'm still outraged that the USA invaded peaceful Germany, thus triggering World War I.

    Never forget!

    All the best

    Chinese propaganda.

    She should look at her own country’s history even since 1949. A quick Google found this, most of which I’ve never even heard of, with the PRC being the aggressor more often than not. But then they are probably only “incidents” or “special military operation” and not “war”!

    I remain concerned that it was too soon to tell the awful tale.

    You need to get the DVD about the making of that film, i spent a lovely afternoon at Bills house, he had plastered the walls and then carved things like the Pyramids and African veldt into them, thought they were paintings. The tanks were from my old Regiment, Baskeyfields smock was actually Richard Todds from The Longest Day, and the Police a 6 pounder and a bank is a hilarious story. Plus he stopped Von Ryans Express film as he had Sinatras Schmeisser

    That's a great story about remembrance and credit to that Bill Townley for making that movie.

    Did that big prop on the front spin the jets, which then made the fire come out of them nozzles?

    But surely they simply mean they've "jet highlighted" the "iconic Spitfire fighter" - that's proper Engerland!

    "Eats, shoots and leaves" 'n all that. :D
