that attempt to govern the planet were made in the image of the victors of World War II.

Weren't France, the Soviet Union, China etc also on the winning side?

Or is the UK going to take the credit for winning the war singlehandedly?

This is the Daily Mail we're talking about. The paper was full of ads for cheap DVDs of old (and mostly quite crappy and unheard of) WWII movies.

As I read the comment at the start, by coincidence they were showing the advert for tomorrows Free war film with the Daily Mail.

Tomorrows is Return to the river Kwai So it looks like it's all out anti-asian weekend in the Mail.

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.
