Unintended ironies: condemning the Armistice Day marches : Comments
By Binoy Kampmark, published 15/11/2023Being a cut and dried jingo, Braverman treats Armistice Day as the sort of occasion to be revered and kept in aspic. No politics should ever enter unless she politicises it.

And, why not? Because it's not a non-white thing for people with funny names who are infesting the West. Braverman is non-white, like the PM, and India fought on our side, despite Gandhi, and the disloyalty of a few rebels (POWs) who went over to Japan towards the end of WW11 to fight against their own country and, therefore, the Allies.
And “peaceniks” should be reviled.
At least Braverman has the guts that conservatives used to have: and that has got her into trouble with her own limp party. Labour should romp in at the next election; a waste of space that the Tories are, currently little different from Labour - worse, actually. Labour is more true to its cause than modern Tories are to theirs.
As for the future, and seeing that an Indian derivative has already been in the job, it might be a good thing to have Braverman as leader. She is one of the women politicians who is tougher than the male pansies who have dragged right of centre politics to the left.
