I watched some of the D Day commemorations this morning. It was all rather somber and dull, and not the sort of thing I usually like to write about. I know I shouldn’t get too political about such occasions. I couldn’t help reflecting, though, that if I caught sight of someone like Nigel Farage there, I would have gone berserk. The fact that Sunak was there was bad enough. After all, the whole point of the European Union was to prevent conflicts like World War Two ever happening again: it was created to make sure that the continent never saw the return of the kind of tyranny those men were fighting to overthrow. Isn’t the fact that the uk has now left the Union thus an insult to all those men who died to free Europe from such tyranny? And isn’t it largely due to Brexit and mistakes like it that we’re now seeing the return of such nationalist tyranny? Or do outists like Sunak just want us to conveniently forget that?
