The Poppy Frenzy. Militarism Hides Behind a Flower.
Britain is a country that glorifies its wars. It is encouraged to do so from the Prime Minister downwards. The form that this glorification takes is based on the theme of \'honouring our fallen\', rather than in any overtly bloodcurdling triumphalism. But the result is the same. The intention of all this covert propaganda is to make British citizens feel proud that they are part of a nation that has been engaged in war for centuries on an ...
