profile of repatriation ceremonies. carrying coffins straight to the union jack when bodies are brought back from afghanistan. but a war weary british public isn't keen on having its opinion swayed and is particularly adamant about keeping repatriation the ceremonies in the public. saying i should be respected for what they've done and we should be aware that it was just more just the. only thing they can do is. publish the right. thing basically they shouldn't be going to war so it's really trying to avoid war rather than try and make it sound it makes an interesting way the paper appears prescient because it was written before the british parliament voted against getting involved in syria under the immense weight of public opinion but it seems unlikely that the public will be manipulated into
