Look at this fawning guff. We're being told what to think here - "this is the GOOD kind of military parade, folks, not the HORRIBLE kind that our enemies might hold..."

How depressing that all this government investment and indigenous engineering talent is being used to develop bigger and cleverer ways of killing people in wars rather than doing anything socially useful.

This is genuinely, horrifically, extraordinary. Labour politicians - LABOUR politicians - arguing against citizens being able to make ethical investment decisions.
I do not want - and never would want - my money to support the arms industry.
And donāt forget that if you want to buy a #WhitePoppy, remembering all victims of war (civilian as well as military) and resolving to strive for a more peaceful world, then you can do so from here: ā©

Remembrance & White Poppies
The white poppy has been worn in the run-up to Remembrance Day for over ninety years, as a symbol of remembrance and peace.White poppies are worn every year by thousands of people across the UK and beyond. They were first produced in 1933 in the aftermath of the First World War, by members of the Co-operative Women's Guild. Many of these women had lost family and friends in the First World War.
Just to say, in the run up to #RemembranceDay, that if anyone on here needs a #WhitePoppy then let me know. Iāve got a whole boxful and am happy to post you one (in English or in Welsh).
The white poppy represents the spirit of #NeverAgain, remembering all victims of war (civilian as well as military) and resolving to strive for a more peaceful world.
