hypognosis, while I understand what Fisk is saying, he offers no solutions as to how we display our respects, how we openly share our collective thanks for those who laid down their lives for our country not just in WW1 but in every conflict and in wghat we allege as peacetime. I find Fisk too left wing, too "wannabee PC" to have any real respect for what he writes.
Perhaps the view our Military take to wearing the poppy as an act of rememberance should carry the real weight of the debate, they wear it with pride in their heritage and in the people who stood before them, maybe some of lefty whiners should take a leaf from their books.
