The man does talk utter tripe, but you’ll notice how these tory party members lap it up. They seem to adore him.
In other words, and not to put too fine a point in it, he’s talking out his arse.
On Today. Wow. Tory members really want a re-run of WW2 as it’ll be ‘good for us.’

The prime minister has overall responsibility for intelligence and security matters, but day-to-day ministerial responsibility and accountability for MI6 and GCHQ sit with the foreign secretary.
However, Number 10 wanted Mr Johnson to not be shown a category of sensitive secret intelligence after he was appointed in July 2016, according to multiple sources with direct knowledge of events, none of whom are involved in the leadership campaign or politics.
One person said Mr Johnson was aware of the decision at the time and was "very unhappy".
Good for them that is -as they sit back on their index linked pensions, property and other assets watching those surviving off the gig economy take another financial hit and embrace ‘the blitz spirit’.On Today. Wow. Tory members really want a re-run of WW2 as it’ll be ‘good for us.’

Or that you'd need to be in your mid 80's to even recall WW2 from a child's perspective.
Be interested to know what your personal experience is to make that statement?
Because of how long ago the war ended, and maths?

Being young during the war actually gives you a very heightened awareness of what is going on with searchlights, barrage baloon's ,sirens and bombing raids etc. Never mind being close to Croydon airport ( just about still the premier uk airport) as well as Kenley, Biggin hill etc
Rushing into your bomb shelter and listening to houses being demolished a few yards away and constant talk about Hitler and our progress...are we winning ? will we be bombed again? Its ok Mum I have got the sugar in the shelter.
Even people directly involved did not fully understand many aspects...for example news about the severity of bombing in Hull was kept away from the public because our propagandists felt it was too demoralising.
You need to understand that unlike today people use to talk to each other and gather outside homes to discuss whether Churchill shooting his mouth off caused bombing etc etc
Lots of Adults, probably most Adults were not informed about what was happening in the war and so much was dependent upon where you lived and its impact upon you.
Apparently that generation are much less likely to be leavers than their offspring.If you did have experience of war and rationing why the hell would you think it was a good thing for your grandchildren to experience the same pain and deprivation.

Continuing the wartime theme,I see j.hunt has associated Jeremy Corbyn with Auschwitz ,not that there's much reported in the r/w press or tv media
.....Even people directly involved did not fully understand many aspects...for example news about the severity of bombing in Hull was kept away from the public because no one cared, it was after all Hull......
