We Will Remember Them...


The flowers left thick at nightfall in the wood
This Eastertide call into mind the men,
Now far from home, who, with their sweethearts, should
Have gathered them and will do never again.
In Memoriam (Easter 1915) by Edward Thomas

So many things to remember of the brave cannon fodder but impossible to ignore hypocrisy of the same privileged few, mocking the dead on National TV.

Elizabeth Saxe-Coburg und Gotha will spare the time to plant a wreath in Derry, not.

"Even for you Melvin that is a new low."

Far better to have said nothing than expose your desperation to smear me. Only the likes of you could applaud the likes of Blair at the Cenotaph.

And when the Poppies are put away for another time,and when the hymn sheets are folded,and tears
dry ,what of the freedom gained by those we mourn,the liberties
won with blood and honour.
How many will now fight to restore
the way of life,the small pleasures for which thousands died. How many?

You are smearing yourself Melvin,you wrote what you wrote.
I do not applaud Blair for anything he has done,you mentioned the Queen not him.As usual you twist the comments to tell lies.

What genuine admiration for the Emperor's clothes can be experienced by others, is their own concern.

'The plays what I wrote' Jaded, is the archetypal thief attributing her own crimes to honest men.

Hey Melv, you really are weird.

I should think everyone had some thoughts going through their heads at the sight of Blair, Cameron, Milliband and Clegg - thank Goodness Cyclops stayed away - at the service; but you were very specific about HM. Time to get back on the meds.

You do not PLANT wreaths, Lawn-mower man, you LAY them.

The subtle nuances lost on you, benefit-scrounger?

XX benefit-scrounger? XX
