It looks like England’s “Hilary” isn’t any less anti-gun than ours.
Your guns are ‘too violent’ for Remembrance Day, mayor tells rifle regiment
Napoleon tried, as did many others.
They all discovered that the riflemen of the British Army do not lay down their arms easily - if at all.
Nonetheless, Hilary Beach decided to call for 1Bn The Rifles to leave their weapons behind at tomorrow’s Remembrance Day parade because she feels they are too “violent”.
Miss Beach, the Labour mayor of Chepstow in Monmouthshire, said: “I would prefer for there not be any guns at the parade - and raised it because it is an issue I personally feel very strongly about.
“I am very much against guns and think they are awful things. Killing in any war is awful and I am against this violence.
“But I want to make it clear that I hold Remembrance Day as extremely important and it is vital that members of the Armed Forces are in attendance.
Well, dear. How do you think the men you commemorate on Remembrance Day won the wars to keep England free? With spitballs?
