Christmas Under Fire

By the end of 1940, Britain's best hope in the war against Germany was to convince the US to become an ally. Christmas Under Fire was produced to help convince the American public that Britain was worth backing. Go to www.discoverychannel.co.uk/ww2 for more exclusive clips from Home Front Britain with Jim Carter including incredible footage from the BFI.

You can watch the whole of Christmas Under Fire at the BFI's wonderful youtube channel. It's called bfifilms. They also have a lot of other great films from WW2.

oh god, the racists are in again. Why is it that whenever you look at an old film on youtube it attracts racist comments from the kind of people who reminisce about the times before immigration?

@ELLEONTHEJUDA07 England worships the "prince of peace" ? they have got to be kidding. If you even said that to an englishman hed laugh.

Absolutely great propaganda by an American mind you ! I still love everything about the PAST Cultural "thinking". We surely know better now boys.

mikeybrumbrum use Opera 10 like xeasternxz must do (it has a spell check) then nob heads cannot say oh look you misspelt this so your uneducated blah blah bullshit.

Does not make you racist to think about the times before immigration. To be discriminated against and overlooked in favour of outlanders Is racist. But hey thats fashionable so we won't mention that. And oh its not racism its prejudice some people need to learn words before they use them.

immigration is a really great thing isn't it? i mean just look at our multi-cultural society. what a great shining example of humanism and enlightenment esp muslims demanding sariah law and the rise of fascism. great idea from the left

Go away, you psychopathic nut case !

Go and annoy someone else.

[xeasternxz]

Boy your spelling is all over the place!! I guess it does reflect your confusion. If in your book I'm a nut, then that I regard as a clean bill of health and I thank you for it. By pig I suppose you mean Police Officer, as a vegetarian I object to that description. What do you mean "look at his mates" what's the context? and "as though he planned it at home"? and again "expecting applaud"??? What does this mean? Like the inside of your poor old head, it doesn't make sense. Get help.

[mikeybrumbrum]

You are the one who asks me a question, then EXADGERATES the meaning of the answer you've already preumed people agree with you. about, then provide the solution, by recommending psycho treatment.

Now, in my books, that makes you a NUT !

I quite clearly meant, that the pig had no care what harm came to his victim, and appreared to JUMP at the chance to attack, and look at his mates - as though he planned it in the mirror at home, and carried it out, expecting applaud,

Criminal Murder !

mikeybrumbrum Your spelling is confused perhaps revealing your state of mind. Are you seriously saying the police set out with malice aforethought to murder Mr Thomlinson? Now remember what murder is, a calculated intention to unlawfully kill someone, not manslaughter where the intention was not to kill, but causing death accidently. If there's evidence of wrong doing the perpetrators will be tried and punished. Have you thought of therapy or analysis for treating your paranoid delusions?
