Amazing, Chewkw! Should I admire China and North Korea then? Cos they’ve got really impressive military parades…
If your way was undertaken, we’d have little in the way of culture, history or a sense of where we as a nation came from – quite bereft of many interesting things.
I was talking about scrapping the TtC, not destroying all culture. Typical over-reaction from the hard of thinking… 🙄
Such ‘traditional’ military parades are little more than an attempt to gloss over the reality of war. Shiny buttons not mud, blood and guts.
Why not have all those heroes who’ve lost limbs etc, in the parade? Y’know, those brave people who’ve sacrificed their mobility for Queen and Country?
Or maybe they’d look a bit ‘unsightly’, and scare the tourists?
