I have it on good authority that this year the chief executive of Humanist(UK ) will for the first time ever be allowed to lay a wreath ot the cenotaph next Sunday- along with all the other religious leaders
His Name is Andrew Copson and he makes an excellent chief executive. See his many videos on You tube. This comes about obviously from the executive but also local groups of Humanists. who have manged to get their chair or a representative of the group with forces connection to lay a wreath during their local town or organization remembrance ceremony. They have done so for several years maybe some as many as 8. However in particular it has been achieved work of the Humanist(UK) Forces Humanist network who have been in existence only 5 or so years. I shall be looking out for him at the TV transmission on Sunday. Slow progress? Yes but progress and shows chinks in the 'privilege' armour.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.My maternal grandfather was an atheist in a foxhole, disproving the old adage. To quote him, "how could a loving god allow this"? Referring to his battery flattening an Italian town in 1944. The Germans pulled out the day before he said.
To the point. Atheists, agnostics and humanitarians fought too.

Posted by webspider555I’m beginning to wonder whether our government is just incompetent or are all these things happening just to get us in a rage arguing amongst ourselves.
