Probably doesnt really understand what all the fuss us about. He had a lengthy photo opportunity there. Then left for another one. Simples. 
Added to the fact the Tory election broadcast the other night had the Union flag flying upside down, it shows the days of the Tories being genuine patriots are long gone.


As a side note - We sent the best we had to French beaches 80 years ago.
Look what the French are sending to our beaches now. 

I think I've figured Sunak out. He was/is constantly being criticised by a certain group within his own party, with rumours of a no confidence vote being mooted almost weekly. He's probably thought "I don't need this, I've tried my best, you miserable bunch of tossers. I'm going to call a general election, that'll shut you all up, then I'm deliberately going to try and lose it. Then I'm off to a very well paid job in the USA, while you bunch of old women will all lose your seats, and your jobs. Up yours,"

Of course the first Minister of Norn Irn didnt bother turning up at all for any D Day events.
No big surprise that her hatred of all things British surpasses even remembering the defeat of the Nazis.

A bit  of a stupid thing to do Mr Sunak in the scheme of things, but he ain't going to be around much longer.

That's the thing. He'll be sunning himself by the pool of his Californian mansion come August, and his kids will have already been enrolled at nearby schools for the new term, which is probably the real reason we are having an election in early July rather than late November.

You didn't think about the timing of the election so he could get his kids in new schools at the start of the new term though did you?

You're right, apologies

I reckon that if by some miracle he did win the election, he would probably stand down shortly after.
He has ticked that box and it will be time for the next thing, which will be much more lucrative whatever it is.

Win or lose, the knives will be out the day after the election.

He won't win.

Apparently a recent survey said that around 50% of British young people have no or little knowledge of D-Day. 

I guess history lessons are all about the trans Atlantic slave trade and the bad bits of our colonial past these days.   

I raised a glass to the memory of the occasion which led to a couple of blank looks, although when I reminded them of the significance of the date, they did at least have some idea of what happened.
