And let me repeat it; that was only possible because of the French buying you time to start with.

So there we have it; your biggest achievement in WW2 was being behind a moat that Hitler hadn't the means to cross. You think you valiantly fought all on your English own against a huge German Reich and thus have it in you to conquer the world again.

The people who should in your warped way of thinking be proud as hell of WW2 would be the Germans; after all, they fought through all of that bloody war against 3 empires and still it took 5 full years to stamp their ambitions out. No hiding on an island waiting for others to save their sorry asses.
Bollocks. Again the Battle of Britain and the Blitz were both before Pearl Harbour. Had we lost that then the Germans would likely have invaded. I never said we unilaterally defeated the Germans we were part of an alliance but we didn't have our "sorry asses" saved, we had done that already, we needed help to liberate the rest of western Europe while the Russians dealt with Eastern Europe.
