"29 minutes in. Paxman to camera, "
More evidence that you never bothered to watch the programmes and are extracting pieces out of context
The British certainly had no alternative other than to resist the German onslaught after the Government had placed it in the position it was in, in order to defend its colonial might - that has never been in dispute.
It was the "sleep-walking into war prematurely", the incompetent leadership that slaughtered so many of our British youth and it was the predators who stayed behind and pretended nothing was happening who made the lives of the families difficult and miserable.
As Paxman made clear from the beginning - it was a war between Empires - their death throes - that is proof of exactly how futile it was.
Why anybody should bother their arses discussing a series of excellent programmes with somebody who hasn't even bothered to watch them is totally beyond me.
Maybe you'll get round to watching the programmes if they are ever repeated, as long as they dont clash with 'Eastenders', that is.

Piss of both of you - you're a pair of caricatures.
