It's quite right to remember those who made the "ultimate sacrifice". But we also need to help those whose lives are blighted and ruined by their experiences in the military. It is not enough to wear a nice big poppy, lay a wreath and stand in silence then go back to work and deny help to those who need it after their service. They stand in solemn lines with grim faces then forget about the needy for another year. That is the hypocrisy of the Tory. They sing the anthem and the hymns with terrific gusto, they know all the words, then send our young men and women into harm's way with barely a thought. And yeah, Tony Blair.
