Just curious about how Brexiters feel about this WW2 poster

Lots of people who support Britain's exit from the EU are convinced that being part of a community of nations is a hindrance and not an advantage. Many feel nostalgia for the time when Britain "stood alone" in WW2 and see that period in history as proof that Britain is at its finest when it's "alone", and yet...


Thoughts?

Notice that not one of the nations in the poster is France...馃樂

@whowasthatmaskedman Oh my goodness: a British wartime propaganda poster boosting the fighting forces of the commonwealth, and it didn't highlight the defeated French - who'd have thought it?

@whowasthatmaskedman Thanks. I love Stephen Fry (... Oops! ... I'm not gay!)

@Gorps I'm a big fan as well. Hes on my list of the ultimate dinner party guests..馃樂

@whowasthatmaskedman Do you ever fantasize about putting 2 unlikely characters together for dinner - say Billy Connolly and Christine Lagarde; or billy Connolly with just about anyone - The Dalai Llama, Donald Trump, Adolf Hitler?

@Gorps No. My Party would be all about me. I would spend all night listening to Brian Cox, Neil De Grasse Tyson, Stephen Fry a couple of others. (Billy Connolly sadly wouldnt make the cut now..)馃樂

@whowasthatmaskedman Sorry you don't think Connolly would be a worthy dinner companion. Amazingly, (if you've seen some of his more outrageous 'comedy'routines) he can be totally charming, empathetic, and is a very intelligent man.

@Gorps Dont get me wrong. I have been a big fan since the Black leotard and banana boot days. But the parkinsons has slowed him to a crawl which he admits himself. In fact I would be happy to throw the party in his honor.. Hes a wonderful storyteller...馃樂
