I really like Gareth Southgate, but these ridiculous comments show that English exceptionalism, fake history and frankly... bullshit run deep. 
This country's obsessed with a war hardly anyone can remember... and worse... we've got it so very wrong.
Oh God it gets worse: "Southgate, whose grandfather served in the Royal Marines during the Second World War"
Anyway I repeat - he's clearly a lovely bloke and this just demonstrates how permit this crap is.
Anyway by coincidence I was discussing these very issues this week on this podcast.

Some very thoughtful contributions in this thread from all sides and some truly moronic ones too. I want England to win and I want to live in a happy, grown up country that understands the truth of its past. Apparently that makes me a dangerous, unhinged radical for some.
Anyway... night with mates. Have a good one people
