  Alex, I am confused by your statement that the proposal was "undemocratically proposed". Are you suggesting that people should not have ideas or aspirations until there has been a vote on what ideas or aspirations are acceptable?
  
  I am sorry to say that the rest of post 76 just sounds like the sort of scaremongering often passed off as concerns by those who do not want any change. Of course this proposal does not want to get rid of local memorials but it will provide a setting where people from all over the country, and the commonwealth. can gather together to commemorate the fallen on significant dates. Surely this represents an ideal of togetherness and unity rather than the isolationism. On D-Day alone forces from Britain, America, Canada, France and the commonwealth fought and died to gain a foothold in Nazi occupied Europe that enabled the eventual defeat of the Nazi regime. Are you suggesting that there should not be a place where people can unite in celebrating their heroism and commemorating their loss?
