I just watched the 1968 film 'Battle of britain' for the sixth time - at least - and it never fails to reveal something I previously missed. They crammed quite a lot of relevant detail into the story line even if the salient facts arent actually mentioned. EG Leigh Mallory's 'big wing'
Talking of which, as a boy I took for granted the Bader the Hero myth having never read 'Reach for the Sky' or seen the film. Two days ago I did see the film and to my surprise my reaction was "What a prat!"
Which brings me to the subject of values as mentioned briefly in the previous post. What you wrote about in your message about 'collectivism' is anathema to me and always was. Theres a huge, vast difference between the camaraderie of our gang, or a few good mates, than the bullshit 'friends' bollocks that Faecesbook stuck its users with.
In fact good mates can, should and do disagree on various points of view and thats a healthy response which is why people shouldn't take offence when i refer to their political party as the scum of the earth! GRIN
Besides they are all as bad as each other and in my opinion the party political system undermines a basic tenet of democracy...
Maybe more anon...I have just upset Tammy regarding the above opinion and she's just gone off to score dinner, God help me and all i wanted was a lamb gyro or doner kebab!
