The absurd and filthy-mouthed Grant made a daft generalisation and I sought to point this out. At 58, he must indeed have met some of the WWII generation and knows perfectly well that few if any of them went to war in order to ensure that his particular view of the current European Union would be enforced on to a public that had specifically rejected EU membership in a referendum. Nor - and this is a crucial point- would most of them deliberately have used sexually explicit language in a statement on a serious issue intended for worldwide publication. <br /><br />We await Grant apology for his offensive language. <br />Joanna Boglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00657573606200891390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33970956.post-82349211031953265642019-09-04T10:57:58.559+01:002019-09-04T10:57:58.559+01:00Joanna, even for you that is such a sweeping gener...Joanna, even for you that is such a sweeping generaliseation! You knew a few WW11 veterans; that hardly qualifies you to speak for all of them!I expect Hugh Grant was brought up by them too - he's 58, not exactly a young man.
