Well for me if this weekend is about anything, it’s about remembering the death, pain, suffering, fear and, more often than not, the futility of war. I can see the argument for WW2 and the defeat of Nazism, but WTF was WW1 about? Just look at the names and ages of those kids on your local cenotaph and ask yourself why they were sacrificed? They were real people who had their lives snatched away.
Now for a moment think about those mothers and children, hiding in their homes in Gaza. Or the rubble of their homes. Wondering whether the next bomb or shell will come for them. Once again they are REAL people. And it’s happening now.
As I said, I can’t think of a better time for this march to take place TBH.
