Instead of seeing it as promotion of any political party can't we just see it in the same way as signing a condolence card? You don't send a card without telling people who it's from. |
It's not a political thing as you say Gayle. It's standard practice at the remembrance day service for the different political parties to lay a wreath.
The Mayor lays a wreath on behalf of the Borough, as he did yesterday.
As far as I can remember the wreaths have always had the logo's of the various parties on the wreath. Also it's the British Legion I think who get the wreaths for us.
