ATTEMPTING to explain why some ungrateful morons felt compelled to vandalise war memorials with white paint, an academic compared RAF Bomber Command to terrorists.
Dr Kehinde Andrews, of Birmingham City University, accused crews who bombed Nazi Germany of “war crimes”.

Kehinde Andrews - pictured with Brian Wood on Good Morning Britain - is living proof of just how shockingly stupid an educated man can be
“Britain started this,” Dr Andrews told ITV’s Good Morning Britain.
“We started the tactics of bombing cities. Why should we be proud of everything that happens in war? This is state terrorism.”
Dr Andrews is living proof of just how shockingly stupid an educated man can be.
Because it is totally wrong to suggest that the British invented the practice of bombing civilian populations in World War Two.
Has this academic airhead ever heard of the Blitz?
From September 7, 1940, London was bombed by the Luftwaffe for 56 out of the following 57 nights.
More than one million houses were blown to bits. One of them was next door to the house my mum grew up in.
All the children she regularly played with in that neighbouring house were killed.
They were among the 40,000 civilians who died in the Blitz — half of them in London but also in Portsmouth, Coventry, Hull, Bristol, Manchester, Glasgow, Sheffield and Birmingham — where Dr Andrews teaches.
Does this campus-bound fool really know so little about the history of the city where he peddles his warped version of history?
Dr Andrews is typical of a school of left-wing thought that believes the wicked British are always in the wrong, always the bad guys, always pure evil — even when fighting for our lives against Nazi Germany. And nothing divides this country — not even the subject of Brexit — like the way we remember our past.
Millions of us are proud of our country’s history.
But to the likes of Dr Andrews, the British have been nothing but a malign presence on the world stage.
It is exactly this brain-dead bigotry about our nation’s past that enabled Jeremy Corbyn and John McDonnell to grovel adoringly at the boots of the IRA.
It seems mind-boggling to most of us that anyone could feel any sympathy and support for an organisation that murdered and maimed innocent British civilians on British streets. But to a certain kind of lefty loon, the British are always, always in the wrong.

I beg to differ.
This country, I suggest to you, has a history that is as proud as any nation’s on earth.
From Napoleon to Hitler, from the Armada to the Luftwaffe, we have faced down all the great tyrants of Europe.
It was a British politician, William Wilberforce, and his efforts over 20 years, that led to the abolition of slavery in every corner of the British Empire more than 30 years before slavery ended in America (Lord Wilberforce was also instrumental in founding the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals).
When the great nations of Europe were under the command of fascist and communist dictators, our country was a free democracy.
That is why we have always been a little different from our European neighbours — the British have never heard the sound of jackboots marching in our streets.
Personally, this nation’s history fills me with nothing but burning pride.
55,573 young men died flying with RAF Bomber Command.
And to some of us, they will always be heroes.
EU Army? Brits will be called to the rescue
Remainers dismissed Leavers' talk of an EU Army as fake news during the EU referendum campaign
DO you recall when talk of a European army was dismissed as fake news put about by us eye-bulging, anti-EU loonies?
Well, this week France and Germany signed the New Treaty of Aachen, which pledges that the armed forces of the two countries will develop closer ties.
Chancellor Angela Merkel boasted that the pact “contributes to the creation of a European army”.
How much clearer can they possibly be? Ever-closer union is what it says on the EU tin. And that includes its own army.
The irony is that any EU army would almost certainly communicate in one common language . . . English.
And if armed conflict ever really kicks off, you can bet your life the EU army will need rescuing by Britain’s Armed Forces.
It’s a No, Yvette
IF you have ever negotiated anything in your life, from asking for a pay rise to buying a home – or indeed a hamster – you will be aware that “No Deal” is always a possibility. Any kind of negotiation inevitably brings with it the possibility that no deal will be struck.
So all the talk about “taking No Deal off the table” is just Westminster waffle and duplicitous Remainer drivel – a euphemism for blocking Brexit used by gutless politicians too scared to say what they really want.
Next week, Parliament will attempt to wrest control of Brexit from this fragile Government.
Yvette Cooper wants our exit delayed for nine months. Oh come on, Yvette, please be honest. Wouldn’t you prefer for ever?
It’s not No Deal they want off the table. It’s Brexit.
