The majority of people who voted Tory would not be old enough to have fought in World War 2 so this is a false statement.

Plus they voted for Theresa May who said that she'd 'rip up' Human Rights laws to combat terrorism which is an ACTUAL insult to all that have sacrificed and died to ensure the rights we enjoy. Try again.

Absolutely,the war ended near 72 years ago,I doubt there are that many 90+ people voting now.
Also,at the end of that war most of those who likely fought and those keeping things going at home,their families.
Turned to Labour in the election of 1945,turfing out Churchill and giving Labour a landslide victory.

That's what people who lived and fought during that war decided to do the moment they got the chance.

I bet their families still respect what they fought and died for. And it wasn't for what this country is becoming. They fought to protect us not expose us to risk.

And you are arguing for destroying rights they died to protect.

This is just nonsense, pretty much everyone has ancestry who fought in or were involved in the war. On my mum's side my grandad was a Colonel and my grandmother was a nurse who served on the continent for nearly 3 years. Having family who served in WW2 is not an exclusive club . Having an opinion on what they were fighting for, then, also is down to each individual.

And of course, our soldiers lives were no less precious when they got sent to Northern Ireland, Falklands, Bosnia, Afghanistan Iraq and a whole lot more. All these soldiers joined the forces believing they would fight the good fight for the freedom of their country. Some of those fights were a lot more recent than the 2nd world war. Most of us have family or know of people who fought in these wars.

That is silly, you can't pick and choose when it comes to Human Rights, it's all or nothing. Her words were an attack on Human Rights as a whole.
