This year, could we please also remember the victims of the Dutch slave trade in Africa, on the plantations in the Caribbean and in Surinam, the victims of our colonial wars in the West and in the East, the people we killed trying to hold on to Indonesia, not to forget those victims we made in the past two decades, as part of US-led attacks against Serbia, Iraq and Afghanistan?
It would make a nice change from only remembering the victims of wars we were not responsible for.
UPDATE: and then the two minute silence was ended slightly prematurely by an outbreak of panic, after somebody screamed and a thud was heard in the middle distance. People started running, the queen and other vips were bundled into safety and for a moment chaos seemed to get the overhand. But luckily there was nothing to it: somebody fainted, somebody else screamed, one of the safety fences fell down and that seems to have started the panic.
