Wonderful Speach

Re: Wonderful Speach

It's creepy how much of the discourse was about UK veterans when really every focus should be on the Afghan people. For that reason "good men go into the earth" was a more poignant line than Ben Jarvis' attempt at summing it up.

Why should every focus be an the Afgans and none on Britsh servicemen who gave their lives for them?

Reading it back following your message I wish to edit what I said:

The speeches where there appeared to be a rush to speak about servicemen and women were creepy because focus of speeches should have all been about Afgans. Of course part of the speeches should have been about the servicemen and women but Ben Jarvis talking about "honour to serve" was a creepy Americanism, on a day spent criticising America, and other speeches were much better.
