Not just me, but I left what I consider to be a brutally honest comment (is it still legal to be brutally honest?) under his blog post about his latest presentation of Veterans’ Badges and Normandy Bars to constituents who risked everything to serve our country in our armed forces.

Tom writes that he is genuinely in awe of these men and women and to meet three men who actually fought at Normandy in 1944 was almost overwhelming.

That’s all well and good and I understand his feelings, but what Tom doesn’t appreciate is simply the plain truth that what these men did – for Tom Harris and the rest of us – has been attacked by his own party. Relentlessly attacked.

There are two kinds of people, mainly. There are folk like Tom, who go merrily about their business, not having a clue what is really going on, and who can enjoy handing out medals to people who helped secure his freedom without realising we have lost half our freedom already.

The other sort of person knows what cunning exists in politics and the lengths our ‘leaders’ are going to to rape us of our freedom, but think there is nothing they can do about it, so don’t even try.

But there are a few – probably a growing number – who both see what is happening and believe they can do something about it. These are the people Tom considers should be ashamed of themselves, and closed the debate.

So when I wrote on Tom Harris’s blog,

There is only one way to say this: bluntly. These men risked their lives for our freedom. We all benefited from what they did. But you have given what they fought for away for free.

I am disgusted beyond further comment.

I was saying what to me is highly obvious, but he retorts to me and another commentator,

…your comments are so insane they’re barely worth commenting upon. Either the veterans fought the war to save Europe from liberal social democracy, or this government has instituted Nazism (which I suspect Stewart believes anyway!). For the record, the old warriors I met today gave no indication of feeling that their endeavours have been wasted, and of course, they’re right.

Let’s see. Am I insane for believing that thousands of our laws and regulations have been made on foreign soil? Am I insane, perhaps, when I see mass immigration being used as an excuse to rid us of our culture and traditions – the culture that those men now being honoured risked losing their lives for? Maybe I am mad for wanting a referendum on the EU because I see how things are going and desire to maintain the very freedoms that were preserved in 1939-45.

The Second World War liberated those nations which had been annexed by the Nazis. They became independent again. The globalists know that they can have more dominance by using stealth and propaganda, than they can with guns and bombs, and so what is happening now is pretty close to what the Nazis planned, but the alleged ‘threats’ from terrorism and climate change are being used to forge a global government.

When Tom says that, the old warriors I met today gave no indication of feeling that their endeavours have been wasted, I suggest they are in the ‘there’s nothing we can do about it’ category. Tom didn’t vote for the complete smoking ban, but as we know, New Labour manifesto promises mean zilch. If these gents still like a smoke with their pint, they are made to go outside. The people Tom Harris admires, who fought for freedom, are now in their nineties and are made to stand outside the pub or club, or even nursing home, like naughty boys.

The irony is that once Hitler gave up smoking, he became rabidly anti-smoking and started outlawing it in public. So, yes, Tom, maybe there is more Nazi ideology in your party’s new philosophy than you think.

From Wikipedia:

The first modern, nationwide tobacco ban was imposed by the Nazi Party in every German university, post office, military hospital, and Nazi Party office, under the auspices of Karl Astel’s Institute for Tobacco Hazards Research, created in 1941 under orders from Adolf Hitler. Major anti-tobacco campaigns were widely broadcast by the Nazis until the demise of the regime in 1945.

Until the demise of the regime in 1945, i.e. until freedom was restored by the men who are now being punished under exactly the same laws that Adolf Hitler imposed.

In another sickening twist, these old men are more likely to get into trouble by inadvertently dropping a hanky in the town centre than a hooded youth is for knocking them black and blue. Yep, at least one of the 4.5 million CCTV cameras is bound to have video of that fluttering paper tissue. The youth would be difficult to identify and even if he is, won’t receive just punishment. I wonder how the old war heroes feel about having risked their lives for freedom and now find themselves living in the most spied upon country on earth. Yet, if they pull out a camera, they can be told to put it away. There are videos all over YouTube from people who have filmed a police officer writing them a ticket for a non-crime and he orders them to stop filming.

These are just some of the reasons, Tom, why people are angry and upset.
