"Nonsense."
Insted of name calling - tell us what it was?
There is no question of it being Imperialist in WW1 - it was a war between Empires over world dominance - pretty much as it was in WW2
"We declared war on Germany..."
Oh, piss off Keith - you lost that war once nbefore despite your army of phantom "historians"
"Will you now remonstrate with jim "
Mind your own business and stop trying to get support where you have none - (don't count Mike - he's in and out like the Severn Bore (apt comparison, eh what)
"hey were not, except for sensitive work requiring security clearance."
My father was a carpenter, his fellow I.B volunteers were everything from dockers to labourers - are you suggesting I am lying?
"The Communist party of Great Britain "
The Communist Party took a leading role in The Spanish Civil War (sort of), because it and the Soviet Union saw it as an opportunity to stop fascism - the vast majority of the International Brigades were non-Communists.
This really is primitive, pro-fascist propaganda.
I ask again - how dare you describe anti-fascism and trade unionism as "subversive" - what kind of an extremist are you?
Your veiw of democracy with "subversive" trades unions and Anti-fascists and an above the law secret service shows it is a police state you favour
Britain appeased German militarism and flung Britain's youth into another blood-bath - Stalin's Russia, Roosevelt's America and Churchill's Britain were allies - making them all subversives.
I really don't mind going on with this - every time you put finger to keyboard you once again show us what you are made of.
