I merely asked if the rumours had any grounds.I must admit though that I believe it would send a clear message to Starmer that the people are not happy, the gesture is not of turning one's back on the genuine heroes of yesteryear - but of the hypocrisy of a man paying his respects to a generation that paid the ultimate price for a freedom that he is insulting.

He's not that smart to have considered that; he went for full virture signal being the opportunist he is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
