Let's down the spitfires and forget
the ignominy of Dunkirk.
We actually didn't win World War Two -
the Russians and the Americans did,
with help from Britain, and don't forget
the many volunteer Commonwealth troops.
Nobody mentions Singapore,
the ignominy of surrender.
We lost an empire which is actually
cause for congratulation, ceding
albeit sometimes unwillingly
worldwide colonies' independence.
Only a popularity addict
seeking votes could brazenly praise
" . . the generation that won the war . ."
