Reflections post -Armistice Day 2009
A fitting day of remembrance on the proper day, too often not the case in the recent past! We must be grateful that the three surviving Great War veterans, present at these ceremonies last year, at least were spared surviving to see the Lisbon Treaty come into force on the first day of next month. How would these men have felt to witness everything of value and worth, for which their generation made such incredible sacrifices, trashed in such a manner. Not only the democracy for which their womenfolk were then still striving, but the very independence of their then Great Nation - now thrown away for nothing. Worse still, to have witnessed the culprits, their once rulers, on this Armistice Day, gathered together in mocking feigned respect, knowing full well that it was they who had jointly plotted and conspired with other leaders across Europe to impose this new Popperian tyranny.
