Gas masks .......
The libertarian loons on the right of the Tory party are at it again, inventing statistics, supporting Covid deniers and spouting rubbish about the spirit of the Blitz and the unacceptable infringement of civil liberties.
Strangely they don’t support the civil liberties of those who want to protest peacefully but they do witter on a lot about how the country kept calm and carried on during the war.
They seem to have forgotten the black out, rationing, ID cards, conscription of men and women and my own favourite, the compulsory carrying of gas masks. All enforced by the law.
Even defeatist talk was punished during the war and people did not have the option to keep their lights on or tear up their ration books and ID cards, if they felt like it.
The country put up with a lot of things then for the greater good, now we have idiots on every TV channel, radio show and newspaper spreading misinformation and whinging like spoilt brats.
Someone has forgotten the spirit of the blitz and it isn’t the ordinary man in the street.
Economics, trade and Brexit, not necessarily in that order but the dog always comes first.
