Nor The Years Condemn?

I have been asked why I was "keen" on the prospect of Reform UK and the Greens as the two largest parties in the next Parliament. I am not, and especially not on this of all days.

Last year, from Dubai, Richard Tice and Isabel Oakeshott campaigned for a boycott of the poppy, because the Royal British Legion had apparently gone woke. Reform is the only British party ever to have campaigned for a boycott of the poppy. And although the Greens do not do that, they do promote the white poppy, which raises funds only for a political campaign, the absolutely pacifist Peace Pledge Union.

But I do not like the present governing party or the present Official Opposition, either. Whatever the outcome of the next General Election, ways will be found to continue the struggle to strengthen families and communities by securing economic equality and international peace through the democratic political control of the means to those ends, including national and parliamentary sovereignty.

  1. I'd forgotten about that anti-poppy thing last year, thank you for reminding me.
