UK Government apologises for failing to commemorate thousands of Commonwealth veterans THE UK Government has apologised for failing to properly commemorate Commonwealth soldiers who died fighting for the British Empire during World War One. A report by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission found pervasive racism had led to at least 116,000 casualties, mainly of African, Indian and Egyptian origin, not being commemorated by name or possibly not commemorated at all . In the Commons today UK Defence Secretary Ben Wallace expressed deep regret about what had happened, and said there was no doubt prejudice had played a part in the failure to recognise all those who died.
Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey has told how Alex Salmond’s proposed return to the Scottish Parliament “should send shivers down the spine”, as he warned the new Alba Party leader could become Russian President Vladimir Putin’s “spokesperson in Holyrood”.
His comments came after former Scottish first minister Mr Salmond refused to say whether he believes Russia was behind the Salisbury poisonings in 2018 – in which Sergei Skripal, a former Russian military officer, and his daughter Yulia were attacked.
Speaking on the third anniversary of the attack last month, UK Defence Secretary Ben Wallace said Russia remains an “adversary” of the UK.
