    I keep popping back to that tweet, a). to make sure I didn't dream it and b). to see if there has been even ONE positive response, which I'm glad to say, there hasn't so far.

    The idea behind Rememberance Sunday has been hijacked by flag shaggers and the MIC and is now about celebrating the military and the glorious dead rather than reflecting on the loss of life, the stupidity and destruction that war causes and the need to end them all. I don't have anything to do with it in its current form.

    I actually walked past a telly this morning that was on the BBC coverage of wreath laying and I just caught Dimbleby (I think) intoning "...and now, representing the security and intelligence services.." and I couldn't help shouting out "What the #### have MI5 and 6 got to do with remebering the casualites of war, for ####'s sake?". That was from being exposed to it for two seconds; sod sitting down to actually watch this garbage.
