Fascinated anyone would believe Britain had the option of sitting the second war out and surviving, and the Empire played a fair hand in starting the first one. https://t.co/729n8Wg8Sj

Mr Banks,
My granddad – a Royal Navy doctor in the North Atlantic convoys – treated both British & German casualties on those seas.
He believed in a common humanity. Not “lousy Europeans” or “Krauts” or “the enemy”. People. What we share.
Please stop your gratuitous insults. https://t.co/Fl36NAgXYC

You insult the memory of my grandfather who went to fight fascism on the beaches of Normandy. Your mission of division will never win.

My mother is 94, spent the war making munitions and Spitfires. She echoes what Harry says. Right wing/hate politics disgust her. It’s what they went through the hell of war to defeat.
