Check your history. It used to be a two minute silence. Obviously even that's too long for people who don't give a damn. Amazingly, a search on Google doesn't show when it was changed. I do remember it was 2 minutes when I was a kid, and authorities like the War Memorial confirm this. But nobody says when it switched. Strange, eh?

When the present government wanted to increase our respect and understanding of their wish to take us to war. When the Sun and the Daily Mail wanted to suggest images and compulsive behaviour instead of reasoned argument. When the British Legion saw a good marketing ploy.

Yes, The politicians want to hijack a good event to cover the soldiers who died in Iraq (which most people blame them for and which will come back to hunt Tony Blair till he is well gone)
