Subject: RE: BS: Jingoism or Commemoration
I know I said I would leave you to it but that last one really needs addressing. I have never said the festival was objectionable. My exact phrase, not that you cannot look it up yourself, was

but the thing I objected to most was turning it into a CofE thing.

I subsequently changed that from a CofE thing to a christian thing because you pointed out that other christian cults were involved. At no point in time have I objected to the remembrance itself and Raggy has nothing to disagree with me about. No one has objected to the festival itself. You are, as usual, misrepresenting what was said for your own gain. Now, I know you will try your best to wheedle and worm your way out of anything so, for the record and as clearly as I can put

I DO NOT OBJECT TO THE FESTIVAL OF REMEMBRANCE

I DO OBJECT TO A CHRISTIAN SERVICE BEING PART OF IT WHEN SO MANY THAT DIED WERE NOT OF THAT FAITH.
