  1. 2 famous events happened that day 80 years ago, the dam busters raid on the Ruhr dams, and the B17 flying fortress [Memphis Belle] flew her 25th and final mission to bomb a German submarine base in Lorient…

  2. Yes your history is now rewritten by the Farage with his big faulty mouth. Why isn't he going to the coast of Devon and Cornwall and chatting to the fishermen there how they feel NOT being able to export to the EU and NOT feeding their families 🤑🤪

  3. Hijacking an event of national pride for making cheap political points is just wrong. Closing the base has been on the cards for ages. Housing immigrants is temporary and didn’t need mention on this 80th anniversary

  4. Any sane person here? You bragging about busting dams? Which is aimed at max civilian casualties. Equivalent to bragging dropping atomic bombs on cities. People should be ashamed of that history instead of bragging about it.

  5. Glad that I got the chance to visit there and have a tour. The government don't care about our history, they only care about getting as much money for themselves.

  6. Not forgetting Guy Gibson took off, not only facing an almost certai death, he had just lost his beloved dog, N I G G E R, whom the idiots running the country cannot man up to defend. It will suprise me if the UK pays Germany for all the damage inflicted upon them by the fiendish air force. If only these brave people knew, they would have welcomed Hitler.

  7. Can't we find something more relevant to the present and the future to talk about than the Dam Busters? How about the fact that the although Germany lost the war it won the peace and Britain continues its inexorable decline thanks to the likes of Farage and his fellow spivs.

  8. So many thousands gave their all so that so many could be free to hear biased and idiotic drivel from tosspots like Nigel Farage over a station that pretends to be professional giving out slanted “news”. 🤦‍♂️

  9. Shame that the BBC decided to come in on the side of the Nazis and call the Dam busters "infamous".
    Interesting that the BBC had a pro "asylum seeker" journalist do the dirty to sully the reputation of the RAF in WW2 given what is happening to the base used.
    It was unfortunate that the Nazis housed slaves under a dam but Berlin Calling (BBC) need to accept that some of the blame for that lied in their beloved Berlin.

  10. AND THE BBC (Sarah Nugent) DESCRIBED THE RAID AS 'INFAMOUS' ! Infamous is not a word i would use for the raid but we all know the BBC hates any display of national pride.
