See on your poll 35% won't be attending a memorial service. All those able and won't go show what an uncaring and selfish country we've become. Bet they take advantage of everything on offer in the free society they died to give us!

Count yourselves lucky boy's and girl's in the name of freedom.
They are the first to post comments on the LT, and at the same time place a vote for non-attendance!

Open question:
What do you think the implications are for the everyday run of the mill working class man,of another country invading the UK.

I personally think very little these soldiers who sacrifice there lives are doing so , for the benefit of the controlling and ruling classes, and to keep the arms trade strong.
The arms trade is simply a design to cream off the nations cash for the benefit of the arms dealers.
