I am a little worried that every day in the calendar will one day be given over to rememberence of atrocities.
The press love these "dates", and I think it's the press who pretend to guide public opinion, or indeed fabricate it.
However tragic these events ( and they all are), the press have ruined them with spin, ( as labour has) and drama. It's partly propogandist to justify the wars currently being fought I believe.
On that point, no one would have guessed that Diana died all those years ago, she is still hounded in the press to this day....the reason? Well apart form her becoming an unsolved x-file, I think it's Possibly $$$£££!!!
R.I.P obviously doesn't mean what it used to mean.
