So the ongoing march of shambleshit that is Brexit continues with ever new permutations of shame, bullshit and rubbish. This time a section of the Brexitiers think they are re-fighting WW2:

Tory Brexit zealot Dan Kaczynski MP claims that, unlike Germany, the poor old UK didn’t benefit from the US Marshall Plan to help it recover after WW2. Except it did. It was literally the biggest beneficiary. pic.twitter.com/MgNh07FxH7 — Eurosluggard🇬🇧🇪🇺 (@eurosluggard) February 2, 2019

(This lying tweet from the Tory MP who didn’t fight in WW2 got challenged here)

"Would you like to apologise for misleading your Twitter followers?"@AlexisConran gave @DKShrewsbury the chance to clarify his tweet saying there was 'no Marshall Plan for us.' He decided to hang up. pic.twitter.com/A8Sb9fDq1Y — talkRADIO (@talkRADIO) February 3, 2019

And the PM is off to Brussels to ‘Fight for Britain’. Yet it’s not a war, and any fighting has been with her own side…

Current Tory policy seems to be to restage WW2 despite not actually being at war with anyone. Lunatics. Swivel eyed, jingoistic nutters. #Brexit #NeverVoteTory — Reduckted (@Red_68) February 2, 2019

We don’t get reminded enough that the EU was a project that came out of WW2 and has been a force for peace in Europe after 100’s of years of war in the past (also the credit to the image we used!).

In international relations, boring is good. Boring, technocratic solutions have kept the peace between EU countries for generations. But boring does not inspire voters. We need to recall how radical & inspirational this peace project is. https://t.co/2isAzstEc3 pic.twitter.com/BwVuOvGyOe — Andrew Stroehlein (@astroehlein) February 3, 2019

What is also really sad here is that the real tragedy and worry is not that it’s 1942, but that we’re in 1933, when fascism grew. When some people turned to the far-right and nationalism and cowardly politicians and media barons encouraged it. That’s when the fighting becomes between neighbours and it is a dark, dark place.
