I've heard that argument before and I am sure it was employed to the guards shuvelling Jews into train carriages for the death camps. Anyway, it's not two minutes it's ANOTHER two minutes. Anyway it's just a ceremonial rubber stamp for excusing a whole raft of attitudes and public subservience to the idea (for example) the UK should spend £15b a year, most of it going into Yankee pockets, for "independent" nuclear submarine "fleet" or a £12b floating military dinosaur called the Elizabeth Aircraft Carrier crammed with Yankee hardware. So it's not JUST a mark of respect. It's a SHITE SHOW covering up a lot of ludicrous aspects of how this country is governed.
The lamp outside the police station was blue - that's when we had police stations. I got that from Dicks On Cock Green with "Sarge" Jack Warner and his son in law in perpetuity "Andy".
Small children, jumpers for goal posts, thrashed 3-0, fighting back the tears, toad in the hole for tea, bedtime, "Oh no Mum, can I stay up a bit longer?", school tomorrow.
I find the whole ceremonial of war shit. My father was in India and they treated the Indians with contempt and valued little their lives very similar to the Japs. Above all the English class system made sure it was the young working class boys who took a disproportionate level of the casualties. They never repeated the mistake of the First World War. I think if we should celebrate anything it would be the Pacifists.
Even his name has a runner up spelling. Makes your heart bleed. "Under extreme pressure"..Poor old Kyren, universal smacked arse expression and a £200,000 runners up prize dangling over him like a sharpened sword of Damocles. What a shame. Only a mere £480,000 earnings in 2019! Televised sport, it's a shit game. Isn't it Kyren?
