Reply - Your opinion is very important, John.

I am discussing WW1. The souls of the departed attend Remembrances especially those that have not been able to move on. They know the score about who is behind wars. They need releasing and enabling to go to rest. We can't help them by telling them they didn't fight for their country England.

After WW1 and into moden wars like Afghanistan, England has since been cancelled. I appreciate that there are many who lost friends and relatives in wars. That's why we need English laws and customs back again, and a return to democratic process.

The UK today is a dictatorship with elections fixed, and the media controlling the ratchet into the next war - probably in Ukraine where casualty rates are on the industrial scale. Whilst regretting the past in all our families, I am concerned about our children. I am sure you understand.
