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.

Bull**** if Britain had agreed to a truce after Dunkirk as Hitler
wanted. Britain would have ended up like Spain and Portugal,
doing fine. France did fine after it surrendered.
