If you read my post addressing this I can assure you that the overwhelming majority of people fighting that war had absolutely no political motivation and by today's standards would be considered very racist and much further right than Nigel Farage.
This revamping of ww2 to suit the agenda of leftists and politically correct theorists is very dishonest and baseless .
People who actually lived during WW2 are actually one of the most pro EU 'groups' there is.
I think the brexiteers have used ww2 and 'blitz spirit' etc a lot more than leftist.
But, as people have said before, this thread is meant to be about Welsh independence so I'll speak no more on brexit.
My mother and both her living brothers were born in the late 20's/ early 30's, and I can tell you all three voted FOR Brexit.
