He wasn't there to show his own respects, he was there because he's the leader of her maj's opposition and it was expected of him.... and I can only presume a quick trip to Ben Nevis wasn't going to wear.
.... and he acted like my 7 year old.
When my son doesn't want to do something, he'll comply to the absolute minimal standard possible.
There must be plenty of Labour voters, most probably, who have the greatest of respect for our forebears who lost their lives fighting for our freedoms... why couldn't he make more effort even if just for them?.... although I cannot work out what the Left has against such a ceremony and would be glad if someone could explain.
If he was just some bloke down the pub, or to some extent a back bench MP.. then strange or quirky decisions..so what. He isn't those though, is he?
