VE Day bank holiday 10:30 - Apr 27 with 1052 viewsGeoffSentence

Isn't it typical of the mean-spirited, miserly, penny pinching way that this country has been run, is being run and will probably be run for some time, that rather than give us an extra bank holiday for this, they've just shifted the May Day bank holiday.

Grumble, grumble, grumble.

We should use the day to say a special thank you to any surviving Soviet veterans who did the heavy lifting for victory in Europe.

Didn't Cameron want to move it to October and call it 'UK day' or something?

May Day in Berlin is how it should be done, of course.

We've already had one day this year celebrating a Russian inspired victory. We called it Brexit Day.

Evidence?

Oh wait, it exists but the government won’t let us see it. Real pattern emerging there...

I was quite happy with it, it fell on my birthday so was going to get the day off.

I often do with that bank holiday, but it was a nice bonus on a year that it didn't fall right I was still going to get a break the day after

You haven't read my post carefully enough, dear heart.

Where do I say we should celebrate post-war Soviet foreign policy?

you said we should celebrate Soviet veterans. I don't agree. Replaced one horrific regime with another. That's like celebrating German soldiers for 'liberating' Italy.

What nonsense. The price paid by Soviet citizens in defeating and destroying nazism was appalling. Of every hundred men born in the USSR in 1922, eighty were dead by 1945.

If that isn't humbling then I don't know what is.

As I said, I'm not talking about Soviet foreign policy. Just the sacrifices of ordinary people, who are correctly described as 'Soviet citizens' because they were at the time citizens of Soviet Russia.

Agree it was horrific for then, and at the time they were not the aggressors. But having been to Eastern Europe and seen what followed, it just seems very distasteful to me.
