When there's more self advertising evident on a wreath, than there are poppies, that stinks.

Lots of organisations lay wreaths on remembrance day including different political parties.

I've been attending remembrance day parades for years. And I honestly don't believe there's an hidden agenda on anyone's part.

We are there to remember those who have given their lives for this Country. And sometimes we might have to recognise that even politicians can be acting in good faith.
