John le Carre quote

To hear Brexiters claiming that Britain won the war single-handedly
is, he says, €œemetic€�. €œThe wonderful rightwing military
historian Max Hastings points out that we were bad fighters, that we
were extremely badly organised, and our contribution in terms of
blood and wealth and material was €“ I cant say trivial, but
tremendously small by comparison to the sacrifices of the other major
lost, what, 30 million men? And in treasure, heaven knows what. We
didnt win the war in that sense. We were on the winning side by
the end, but we were really quite minor players.€�
I beg to differ. If Britain had done **** all against Hitler, the
world would be a very different place today.


Do you mean we would be driving around in German or Japanese cars ?.
We wouldn't be driving around.
