British PM Winston Churchill waving to the crowds on VE Day 1945.

Today is the anniversary of Victory in Europe Day, when the hostilities in the European theatre of World War II ended, and the long process of rebuilding a shattered continent, and re-settling the millions of displaced persons could begin.

A whole generation gave their strength and often their very lives to protect Britain from the destruction and oppression that a victory for Nazism would have brought to these islands. Until the Americans entered World War II, Britain and its Empire stood almost alone among the non-neutral European powers against the Nazi hordes. Our future as a free nation stood on a knife edge. Britain was even known by the brave Polish Airmen who fought in the Battle of Britain as ‘The Island of Last Hope’ because so much of Europe had crumbled before the Nazi monster.

The number of lucky breaks that Britain got during that time was astounding. If it wasn’t for the mistakes by the German military leadership that let British troops escape from the beaches of Dunkirk, we would not have had enough manpower even to defend our coasts. If it wasn’t for the early advances in computer technology, then the cracking of the German Enigma code may have taken much longer. If Hitler had been less arrogant about the power of Blitzkrieg, then he might have got guided missiles earlier on in the war, when they may have had a devastating impact on Allied troops on the battlefield. If it wasn’t for that fact that the British people could see the enemy, hear their words and know their evil, then we may not have been motivated enough to fight and survive the privations this country suffered and which affected everyone, both civilian and military.

There were so many occasions during that time when I can’t help but think ‘if only’ and shudder at the thought of a Britain under Nazi oppression, had things turned out differently.

But our freedom wasn’t bought for us in perpetuity by that Great Generation of World War II, they only purchased for us the Leasehold on freedom, and not the Freehold on it. The fight for freedom is something that occurs in every generation, and all of us still have to make our contribution to this fight in order to pay the ground rent on our freedom. The fight for freedom can never stop. The price for liberty is eternal vigilance.

Today is the day when we remember all those, not just in Britain but across Europe, from over the Atlantic, and beyond, who fought and suffered for our freedom from Nazism.

On this day, as well as honouring the memory of those who fought in that time, and marvelling at their achievement, we must re-dedicate ourselves to opposing those who would impose brutal, oppressive ideologies on us. Today’s enemy isn’t a Jackbooted Nazi, or Japanese or Italian Fascist, but an ideology that has dedicated itself to wiping out all other beliefs and ways of thinking except its own. This enemy kills and maims with impunity throughout the world. This alien ideology encourages the virtual chaining and actual mutilation of women and children, and the killing of its heterodox dissidents. This enemy has turned functioning countries into deserts of misery and hopelessness. This enemy has a name, and its name is Islam.

If we do not gird our loins and fight against this ideology, primarily by any peaceful means necessary, then we will have rendered the sacrifices of the ‘Great Generation’ worthless and futile. We would have wasted the lives of all those who fought and suffered to see a brighter future. We must free those who are enslaved by Islam, oppose its constant ‘demands with menaces’, and remove any influence that this ideology has bought or strong-armed for itself in our societies. Do not be put off by the dishonest honeyed words of the pro-Islam Quislings and their description of Islam as a ‘religion’ because it is not a religion. Islam is an authoritarian political movement which masquerades as a religion that, like the more occultist aspects of Nazism, has controlled people with a veneer of spirituality and a crippling fear of damnation in this world and the next.

So on this auspicious day, the anniversary of the original VE day that many of those who fought in World War II didn’t get to see, take time to remember those who did so much for you. Resolve to ‘do your bit’ to oppose an ideology that is possibly the greatest threat to Britain since we stood balanced between survival and destruction in the early days of World War II.

We can vote, we can write, we can speak and we must do so and do them more often, and in greater numbers and louder than the promoters of the thuggish and morally desolate ideology that is opposed both to us and to our hard won freedoms.

It is your choice whether you want to be part of new ‘Great Generation’ by opposing Islam, or if you wish to live truncated, enslaved lives as third class citizens or barely tolerated ‘subjects’ of a cruel and hate filled ideology. What side do you want to be on and what sort of nation and world do you want your children to grow up in?
