  2. Did this so-called King of the 21st century say anything about the role that Russia took in the second world war, hypocrisy at its highest level, what a wonderful life living in cookoo land

  11. “Quick! The Germans are trying to take over the world!“
    – The British Empire says while occupying 1/4 the world’s landmass

  12. How can charlie stand there in that uniform without being ashamed.
    He is not fit to be associated with the courage and self sacrifice displayed on the beaches eighty years ago. He should be held in universal contempt for attempting to do so.
    Shame on him and the rest of the parasites who do so.

  13. And let us not forget the Parliament of Canada giving a standing ovation to a former WW2 N@zi from Ukraine who they were told fought the Russians, an ally in WW2. Recently Boris Johnson hosted members of the Azoz Brigade Neo-N@zis to the British Parliament. One hopes that they gave him a "My Mother is Ukraine and Bandera is My Father" patch to wear.
