Second world war veterans just about outnumbered former prime ministers at the national service of remembrance at the Cenotaph this morning with 12 World War II Veterans, three more than the 9 people who once called themselves Prime Minister.
It shows the political turmoil Great Britain has been through over the last few decades that we have quite so many former Prime Ministers standing at the Cenotaph with their heads down looking suitably solemn.
The list in order was John Mayor, Tony Blair, Gordon Brown, David Cameron, Teresa May, Boris Johnson, Liz Truss, Rishi Sunak and Keir Starmer and led by the current Prime Minister Andy Burnham who is the 7th to hold the title since 2015.
Always a sad day because we remember those who have been killed in wars they were sent to by those same leaders who stood there looking sad and it always amazes me that none of the veterans have run over and lumped them for what they did, especially Tony Blair who lied and schemed his way to war in Iraq but for some reason the veterans never do, the public on the other hand are not so kind and continue to berate and spew hatred upon him every time he shows his head, and that is how it should be.
