Sir John Major, former UK Prime Minister - are the lessons of WW2 being forgotten?

Nick Robinson speaks to Sir John Major, former Prime Minister of
the United Kingdom.


It’s 80 years since VE day marked the end of WW2 in Europe - and
Sir John reflects on the lessons that should be remembered from
the conflict. He is the last British Prime Minister who was alive
during the Second World War.


Sir John warns democracy should not be taken for granted, and is
in retreat in some parts of the world - where tyranny is instead
taking its place. He sets out his belief in fighting for the
freedom of Ukraine, in a stronger Nato, and in a united Europe
able to defend itself.


The former prime minister also looks back at previous Victory in
Europe days, and the moving ceremonies, moments and people that
have stayed with him.
