Mons.
First commonwealth causualty, last commonwealth casualty share a cemetry, can see one another. And there's the sneaking suspicion that Mons had become a metaphor rather than an active target.
So when you listen to people who think that it is important that Britan [sic] cuts a rug in the world with their nukes and stuff ask them the basic question, "did you to go to war daddy, or did you just send others?" Or perhaps, "You must have load a shitload of profit in Iraq, did you give one pence to our soldiers? did you give one jot of care? Are you an abject piece of shite?"
We are wallowing in child poverty but we can't tackle this because we need to remain a bully in the playground of the world.
When cameron shaves can't he see the blood dripping from his hands?
<this was going to be a comment but..>
Not a bully, worse. The little shit who hides behinds the bully.
For better or worse people care what we, brits, do, our proudest moment: we more or less stopped slavery. We had our bad moments too, we more or less started slavery.
But because of who we are we have argued about this, we have argued about everything, we have a nuanced attitude. we have knowledge and an idea what to do. And we dislike killing people, and yet our government seem to glory in blood.
In your british heart you know that we have the answer, and that the answer is to be tolerant, despite provocation; to try to understand the strange, to care about fellow-humans. And we know that those now in power hype provocation, and, and here it has to be said, behave like fucking Nazis. They put immegrants in camps. Is that something that we should thole?
How long before they come for you?

Our foreign policy is a mess. We pontificate what others should and shouldn't do and then do it ourselves. The arms traders from other countries shouldn't (morally) supply governments and rebels with arms but when our companies do it is 'great business' and good for Britain. What's worse we'll be sending our poor sods of soldiers out with shoddy equipment to retreive the situation when these people turn on us. Meanwhile we the British Public are focussed on our domestic difficulties and don't give diddley squat - I know I'm being irrational and should get back to the ironing!
Always struck by this one
First they came for the communists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a communist.
Then they came for the socialists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a trade unionist.
Then they came for me,
and there was no one left to speak for me.

They are following a programme. I agree that their ideology is essentially Nazi. What they are doing is creating the climate for people to accept their evil. To willing hand over their freedom. They and their ideology much be crushed - and only the people can do it. Hopefully that will happen, though I'm not convinced. Brainwashing is almost total in certain areas of society.
Money for nukes but not to feed children, secret euthanasia programmes as the solution to the problem of 'unproductive' persons, secret courts, trail without jury, indefinite detention, being tagged and put under curfew without conviction, killing of the (poor) elderly by stealth, hospital procedure and taxation, the increasing restrictions on people gaining education, education itself undermined by propaganda, the criminalisation and vilification of the gypsy, the mentally ill, the 'white trash' etc..... We only have the illusion of democracy - it is a convenient lie to distract us from the dictatorship which is the reality. The people 'in power' are not even 'in power'. Little puppet rulers. Fawners and sycophants.
They (the actual rulers) worship a demon as well. Moloch. They dance round a statue of Moloch as an Owl. These are the kind of people we have to deal with. Psychopathic killers. They are a bunch of Satanic Nazis and they have no 'care' for us. That's why they 'cremate' care at their Moloch worshiping ceremonies.
Sorry. Bit moody today...
Take care

Small point.
Yes, we had the trade triangle, one side of which was sending slaves across the Atlantic to our sugar plantations in the Caribbean.
But who sold us the slaves on the African end? Oddly the Arabs had a part in this. [as well as the local African potentates]. So I always think there's some irony when I hear of Afro-Americans converting to Islam.
We beat ourselves up, but then what culture has ever been blameless?
