Stirring images from Arc de Triomphe in France. Superb speech of peace and unity by President Macron of France. Around 80 world leaders attend also to discuss about peace and unity.
Certainly the Presidents of France, Germany, Canada who were prominent in the ceremony are beholden to the peace portrayed. Even late arrivals Trump and Putin seemed awed.
Although no doubt Macron's reference to the need to move beyond mere nationalism to embrace peace among nations will be twisted and tweeted to deaf chauvinist ears from Airforce One later today.
Britain who led the war efforts for peace, including my father in World War 2, needed the world then and Europe in particular. I am fiercely annoyed that the UK couldnt find anyone to send to Paris.
Has stupid #BREXIT also destroyed the bravery and sympathy of our country? Right now a no deal is on the cards or a customs deal that will restrict UK trade, follow EU rules and (as in Switzerland) will be decided by people outside the country in Brussels.
Please find your friends and neighbours to sign this petition so we may obtain 100,000 petitioners and enable us to ask Parliament to STOP #BREXIT immediately. Right now the prospect is dismal and there are only a few months to go!
