What an amazing tribute yesterday. I saw the soldiers when I was coming out of the railway station in the morning and then again at lunchtime. I think I am still stunned.

I said on twitter yesterday, I was rushing through Waterloo station, a little late, while The Mission theme by Morricone was playing in my ears. I banged out of the barriers and nearly bumped into a very young guy in WW1 uniform, perfectly in character. I was half asleep and a little hungover. It bowled me over. Just not what I was expecting. To bump into the generation who were wiped out for no reason.

Seems quite appropriate in the wake of Brexit, of older people deciding to fuck over the young with no forethought.
