I go to the Remembrance Day service, which I have done for decades. Last year was the first year I didn't, and the reason was this kind of glorification. I'm old enough to have known WWI & WWII veterans. They would be appalled at the shallow pretence & pride on display. The recent misuse of words like pogrom by politicians is also insulting. In a year when British forces have been used to aid a genocide, we need reflection, humility, & remembrance more than ever. Lest we forget. #LestWeForget
