Battle of Britain? 40% of young people don't know what it is

http://http://www.telegraph.co.uk/hi...-invasion.html

What is wrong with 'young people' these days? Do they not even watch the 1969 film any more? Do they not know who Susannah York was? (Beagle that's your opportunity for an input). Is this the freedom that the Few bought so dearly so that 10% of 'young people' can believe that it was fought against the Vikings & a similar proportion that it actually took place last year? An urgent remedy is called for - perhaps a new X box game - Call of Duty, Battle of Britain - with an option to play a cigar chewing Yank flying a P51 against hordes of incoming Nazi planes flown by blonde Aryan cyborgs created by evil scientists in concentration camps. That should address the lack of history education in schools.

Nurse, I think my medication needs topping up.
