There’s so much junk on the box at Christmas that yesterday I tweeted a link to a seven-minute video that I thought would be much more memorable: an American’s film on England in Christmas 1940. The film is above, and speaks best for itself.
The great thing about Twitter is the response: positive and negative. And while many people retweeted the link (one guy said he’d forced his kids to watch it), it provoked fury from one David Walker. His words:
This is David Walker, co-author with his partner Polly Toynbee of“@frasernels – this Tory dares extol this film – a paean of praise to the state and common sacrifice. What hypocrisy.”
