SPIRIT OF THE BLITZ?
Although Algy is not old enough to have served in the Second World War, he was taught by many that did when he was in the Royal Air Force. He gave me this list of possible protestations from today’s Politically Correct (P.C.) generation as he ponders the question: “Are the English-speaking nations really displaying the sort of spirit displayed in the Battle of Britain and the Blitz during this Corona challenge?” (These whinges were sent to him by his cousin in England.)
If WWII happened today…how today’s PC people would react:
- Can I have more clarity on the “Your country needs you” slogan, it’s too ambiguous?
2. Why aren’t you doing enough to prevent these air raids?
3. Does the siren apply to everyone?
4. There are only male and female toilets in the air raid shelter and I don’t identify as either.
5.This respirator haversack has a leather strap and I’m a vegan.
6. Why can’t I have almond milk on my ration card?
7. I find the term “black out” offensive.
8. I find the lack of colour options within military uniforms oppressive.
9. Why didn’t we have stockpiles of Spitfires at the start of this conflict?
It certainly makes this monkey puzzled!
Gibber! Gibber!

Dear Chugley. Is this post the definition of “whinging poms” ? Tho’ I suspect some of the same would and has appeared here. Our Govt. advice’s are a bit like the ‘Boris poster’, one reads or hears them and then has to say “what??” And item 6 on the list; “Why can’t I have almond milk on my ration card?” The answer; there is no such thing as almond milk, it is almond juice. Milk comes from a cow, can’t come from any where else. Same as a child born male, can’t be anything else. Now I’ll be in trouble !
Well it is a sort of welcome to the “new abnormal” Milton. I think the humans have finally lost their bananas, I just hope they don’t lose mine as well! Almond “milk” – now that is marketing gone nuts – Almond nuts, in this case. I believe the shops now have some toilet paper in stock? Wonders never cease. Gibber! Gibber! Chugley
