On May 8, 1945, the United Kingdom erupted in jubilation as Victory in Europe (VE) Day marked the end of a brutal war against Nazi oppression.

The British people, with their indomitable spirit, had stood firm through the Blitz, rationing, and countless sacrifices. From the heroes of the Battle of Britain to the ordinary citizens who kept the home front resilient, the nation’s unity and courage secured a triumph for freedom. Three months later, on August 15, Victory over Japan (VJ) Day brought final peace, as the Allies, with Britain’s steadfast contribution in the Far East, forced Japan’s surrender. These historic days remain a testament to British resolve, patriotism, and the unyielding pursuit of justice—a legacy that continues to inspire.

Today, that same patriotic fervour is echoed by figures like Tommy Robinson and organisations like Urban Scoop, who champion British values and rally communities to honour the nation’s heritage by pushing forward with a mission to Uniting The Kingdom.

As we commemorate the 80th anniversaries of VE and VJ Days in 2025, let us reflect on the sacrifices of the Greatest Generation while embracing the call to defend British values today. The street parties, bunting, and cheers of 1945 are mirrored in the gatherings organised by Tommy and Urban Scoop, where citizens unite to celebrate their shared identity.

These modern patriots remind us that the fight for freedom and fairness continues, whether against external threats or internal challenges. With the same courage that defined Britain’s wartime victories, let us honour our veterans, wave our flags high, and keep the flame of national pride burning bright for generations to come.
