Yeah, and somehow every year rememberance day seems to get even more deranged than the last, half expecting Sunak and :tory: to do the next PMQs wearing ghillie suits made entirely out of plastic poppies.
It seems even crazier too because I'm fairly sure all but the most violently nationalistic WW1 veterans/war dead would be more offended by the chud virtue signalling pagentry of it all than by shows of pacifism. I remember hearing from older relatives about how originally most rememberance events were an excuse to let loose, get drunk and go dancing for all the people that couldn't do that anymore, now the actual vets have died from old age it's become some sort of weird cult of military worship and propagandised history, creepy shit.
