This comment struck the Dame as so eminently sensible that she features it here.
Thank you Anoymous
"It is a disgrace that religious services are banned when one is permitted to go to Garden Centres (most of which seem to be selling Christmas Tat rather than plants) & stationery shops.
Our spineless religious leaders seem to have accepted the marginality of their services with never so much as a whimper.
What will make them fight their corner?
We have already lost Easter & today Remembrance Day Sunday has gone by without Religious or Civic Leaders in attendance.
Are Advent and Religious Christmas to be allowed to go the same way?
It is certain, however, that our hopeless PM will give way to demands for secular Christmas to let rip irrespective of the health consequences simply because he wants to try to regain his lost popularity although surely his authority is lost permanently?
Apparently the Mayor & MPs did lay wreaths today but did so early & in virtual secrecy. How ridiculous that Members of Parliament have to sneak around doing their duty like dissident Priests in Elizabethan England. Time for this government to treat Grown ups like grown ups and allow us to decide for ourselves- cognisant of the ( minimal) risks, if we want to attend social distancing church services or pay our respects on Armistice Day
