They invited him to the event on the same day when he had a long term commitment to Glastonbury already. Bet the media and detractors were steaming they couldn't analyse his body language and tell us that he hates Britain had he gone though.

The event is held on the last Sunday of June.
He really should have had it pencilled into his diary.
Instead he chose to go to Galstonbury and promise to Michael Eavis that he will get rid of trident.

Are you really trying to suggest he wouldn't have been aware of AFD - he should have put the date in his diary. He didn't because he has no respect for our soldiers - he knew exactly what he was doing.

If he ever becomes PM he will pose a serious threat to our security. I can't believe how naive people can be.

Perhaps he is more concerned with helping the veterans of the armed forces on the other 364 days of the year rather than taking part in the self promoting parade that AFD has become for politicians?

AFD isn't for the veterans, it's for people to show off how 'kind and compassionate' they are by pretending to give a **** about the armed forces for the sake of social media and others. It's fake, it's lip service and it's shameful. If people honestly cared about the Armed Forces then they wouldn't have to make a show of it to impress others, they'd do something useful instead but where's the benefit in doing something charitable if they can't use it to show others how amazing they are?

Ugh.

What does he do on the other 364 days then! If you can't up with something one day will do.

What's the point? If he goes people like you will find a reason to slate him for it. Better to do his own thing and do something useful then to try to appeal to the peacocks of society that only care about AFD because they think it makes them look good.

Lip service on one pointless day is easy, actually caring about the Armed Forces and doing something to help requires more effort that people who pretend to care about the Armed Forces simply aren't interested in doing.
