Plans to withdraw remaining UK troops from Germany by the end of the decade have been criticised by hardliners within the UK’s nostalgia community. “This is just what the Hun has been waiting for, an opportunity to pounce whilst our back is turned.” said George Evans (56) of High Wycombe, who has 1940s newsreels and ‘Yesterday’ TV series running on a continual loop in his shed. And in his head. “We should remain there for a thousand years.”
However, this attitude has itself come under fire from Mr Evans’ local branch of the Royal British Legion where a spokesman said this morning “Well yes, old George has got a bee in his bonnet about Germany and his ‘thousand years’ idea is clearly ridiculous. But we should probably stay there until the war is over. Or at least until Hitler is dead.”
