Who will break it to Nigel Farage that the National Memorial Arboretum already features tributes to people of different faiths and ethnicities, be they Sikh, Jewish or Caribbean?
Too late. He’s already gone on the offensive, pretending this is a breach of long-established equalities amongst the fallen of war. Too late, for his reactionary response has already gone viral.

We’re a nation which cannot face these inconvenient truths about either the living or the dead. Be they a doctor, nurse or soldier, the foreigner will forever be damned.
