It's certainly not a good idea to disrespect the survivors. Not condoning it, just saying it may happen as some of these white poppy lot are very insulting.
Every year; free clicks for a newspaper regurgitating the same old shit, James McClean reminding the world he has an opinion and reveling in it, and people generally in some state of outrage with the "no one is forced to wear one but..."

You find a white flower offensive? Are you sure you were in the forces? You sound like a right snowflake.

Every bloody year I post something similar to this ffs.
Nobody should feel like they have to wear one. Personal choice. End of story. In James McCleans case, fine James don’t wear one. No worries. Don’t however make some horseshit up about how it’s a political symbol you simply can’t wear on the strip of your English football team. Then, the following Easter post pictures of yourself sporting your Irish Republican Easter lily on your English team tracksuit. Or make a point of turning your back on the British national anthem when it’s played prior to a game you’re playing for your English club. All the while demanding people respect your rights and show courtesy. You dick.

What a shit article that is.
It’s someone’s opinion I guess but I can’t fathom why the reason for wearing a poppy has changed over the past decade. It doesn’t help when hate fuelled newspapers fuel the flames either, simply for click bait.

I know it takes the piss, like some of the above posters on here asking if I'm sure I was in the military and I'm a snowflake
. Some offensive pricks on here, see my previous post on this thread.safctommie

There are other ways such as visiting the battlefields and attending religious services on and around the 11th November.

Voting to make war more likely doesn't honour the fallen and those who fought. It shows we learned nothing for their sacrifice at all.

Oswald Mosley was spot on in that regard.
Jackonory.. Is less of a story.. Sorry that's bo licks
Doesn't fit the narrative, can't be true.A bit pathetic, how do you feel about the posts you haven't chosen responded to suggesting violence against those wearing the wrong colour of poppy?
