You should read the interview my great uncle gave after the VJ80 commemorations.
There’s just a sadness that all that was sacrificed was for nothing in some cases

Just driven into work. Halfway through a tremendous interview with the Titan that I’ll always affectionately refer to as Shaggy. What a coup to get him in for that first episode

The bbc was established in 1922. A year after my great uncle was born. A war veteran and later a journalist on the World Service. Most recently went off script at the #VJ80 commemorations. And in his interviews he feels the fight against fascism was all for nothing. The Beeb is dying

My great uncle (essentially my grandad as I never got to meet him but we had his little brother in the UK) has been doing the rounds in the media with his speech to the King at #VJ80.
He’s now 103.
Here he is at 55, a bit older than me.
And that’s me, sitting on the shoulder of giants 😍🫡

My ASD son with developmental issues loves to watch a film called The Christmas Chronicles ad nauseam in a variety of languages.
The advantage being I get to see and hear Martin Roach frequently on my tv (speaking French/ Turkish/ Mandarin…)
