That generation never talked about the war. I interviewed Denis Healey three times. Never once did he mention he was the beach master for the British assault on Anzio, a bloody but vital moment. Only those who didn’t fight in the war - weren’t even born then - drone on about it.

I genuinely can't think of anything I'd rather do, or could do! I don't think I've ever tried to put anyone off & probably never would. If you can work on things you're interested in, and speak to people who are passionate about what they do, every day it makes a huge difference.

Or another perspective...Brave, unarmed officers grab man running towards the PM's car. Police drivers quick to react. Small incident, nobody hurt.
