This is a common reaction between those who actually fought.
Chanting 10 German bombers or constantly using WW2 imagery is not. https://t.co/4GXYPcWO1h— Brian Moore (@brianmoore666) June 7, 2019

What is so tragic is that the far right, Tory ERG and Brexiters have somehow managed to hijack the legacy of WW2 and the gift of peace bestowed to us by the men who fought it. It is so deeply humbling to see these old soldiers bring some sense and decency into the debate. https://t.co/3IWIwhCJZX
