Lest we forget

As usual on Remembrance Sunday, I went to the parish church as one of the ringers to ring the half-muffled bells before the service at the War Memorial outside. A rather mournful sound, totally fitting for the occasion. Then a quick dash down the tower to get out and join the Service just in time for the "Last Post".
As I stood there I thought about two things. Firstly, what a mess our governments have made of this country since WW2; was this what our Service men and women fought for? Did our soldiers over the centuries since Agincourt, fight France, Spain, Germany and Italy only now to surrender to those countries by belonging to the EU.
And secondly, who do we have who could inspire and lead this country in the event of a war or other major disaster? I can't think of any politician today whom we would trust and whom would inspire us as Churchill did.
