• This is a political forum that is non-biased/non-partisan and treats every person's position on topics equally. This debate forum is not aligned to any political party. In today's politics, many ideas are split between and even within all the political parties. Often we find ourselves agreeing on one platform but some topics break our mold. We are here to discuss them in a civil political debate. If this is your first visit to our political forums, be sure to check out the RULES.

We will remember them. WW1 centenary.

Armistice day 11/11 is the day Britain remembers the fallen by the wearing of a symbolic Flanders poppy. This year an art installation of ceramic poppies has been "planted" in the moat at the Tower of London. It's caught the public imagination as each poppy represents the life of every British and Commonwealth service person who died.

 
A lot of people call Neville Chamberlain the "appeaser," but when you read about just how horrendous WWI was, you can understand the trepidation of the British public and the desire to avoid another war.
