I cant believe young adults today see Churchill as a despot for flattening Germany in WWII. Ive spent the morning trying to educate them of the war and defend Winnie. They even think Hitler was right to 'repatriate' jews to Israel.

What are schools teaching them?

Did they say they are being taught that at school, I'd be asking the teachers.
It may not be the schools that are at fault Tamborine. If you look at the output of the far Right in Britain today, its easy for young kids to get derailed into the nasty areas.

Carry on the good work !

Mamya, theyre aged from 18+ & finished school. I did suggest they check history on wiki but they say thats west propaganda.
Did you ask them where they got their information from?
Well, you just stopped me checking the National Curriculum there.

They have formed their opinions somehow and whilst we may not concur they are entitled to their views however much we may disagree with them.

It's good to debate them though.

No Naomi but saying repatriation is enuf to blow my head off!
Israel didn't exist in Hitler's day
What on earth school is that??!!
I'd really like to know who they've been talking to.
Yes, 'flattening Germany' was a ruthless act.

But perhaps you can ask them to imagine suffering a sustained attack from someone trying to kill them; someone who has caused serious, life-threatening injuries to them and others around them.

Ask them if they can imagine defending themselves and causing serious injury to that attacker in order to stop their assault and ensure they are unable to attack anybody again.

Their parents are probaby aged 40+ are they just as thick?
ichkeria, Hitler's mob had a plan to send the Jews to Palestine but they had no thought or intention of renaming the place Israel.
Too much lefty PC nonsense in schools and the media, you can't learn the truth these days for fear of "offending someone" and it's this kind of thinking and mantras that will continue to facilitate the increasing popularity of the extreme right wing parties

Naomi, I dont think war is a topic in clubs & Costa coffee shops. These younguns run IT support, teachers, dentist, estate agents, etc....professionals!
tambourine, is this a group you'll be seeing again? If so perhaps you'll ask them where they got their ideas and come back and let us know.
Lots of opportunities here to remake classic movies for a young audience:

The Dam Busters - courageous National Socialists thwart cowardly attack on people's drinking water supply

The Great Escape - recidivist terrorists reject refuge in comfortable rest-camps, vandalise facilities and scatter into beautiful german countryside to spread fear and mayhem

The Dirty Dozen - american rapists and murderers sneak attack on Fatherland in defiance of Geneva Convention

Naomi, theyre clients for hair & beauty. They come from all over to work nr London. I either watch my tongue to take their money or retire.....the latter is imminently closer.
tambo
you can't expect them to know much about Churchill; he isn't on Facebook and his Twitter feed is useless.
Yeah, well said Zeuhl.
I think you're wrong.
