~~~ Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Iraq, Afghanistan, probably as many servicemen and women who went disagreed with our involvement in line with general public feeling. You telling me McClean is been selective in that respect? Absolute bollocks!! I don't want the c*nt to wear a Poppy, it stands him out for what he is. Neither of whom had "died to protect the freedoms we enjoy" They signed up to be part of a professional army. in no way can a 21st century solider be compared with the conscription from 1916 to 1945 Well we know exactly why he doesn't wear one, due to the actions of the British army in his community. I've got no idea why you're so upset about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Audaces Fortuna Juvat Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 McLean's Twitter posts in the past have shown him to be a bigoted little twat, so I don't really care whether or not he wears a poppy, I know what he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather he didn't. Happy to earn his coin in a country that he hates! F*ck off and go play some place else, not welcome here! Hope every EPL support, at the Hawthorns or at their own ground let's him know that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~~~ Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Don't know what the fuss is over McLean refusing to wear the Poppy, it's up to him and his personal conscience !? I'd rather he didn't. Happy to earn his coin in a country that he hates! F*ck off and go play some place else, not welcome here! ^^^ Not bothered. Besides since why did not agreeing with a government or the actions of its armed forced become "hating the country" you do know there is a difference.... right? PS. How seething did this get you?

THE KING Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Nah not at all eh!? Being opposed to a particular Government policy is not the same as hating the Country, but I know that doesn't compute to bigots like yourself, after all you think anyone who doesn't wear a poppy can't contemplate the horror of war.

That isn't what I said at all, it's up to the individual, and their choice to remember or how to reflect, but as for McClean making a stance against a particular government policy, don't make f*ckin laugh. How about him turning his back on our National Anthem? There's plenty that don't sing it (Rooney for one) but they just stay silent until it's done Not like this attention seeking wee Whank, look at me, look at me!! And you call me a bigot!? I know what McClean is and so do the vast majority in the street, who previously had no axe to grind at all. He's been rightly vilified for me, end of story.

What the song about the head of that bigoted institution that has it in law to bar people like McClean purely on religious ground? That one? Can't say that I blame him tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Kincardine Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Im going to answer for him as im pretty sure he's referring to a centuries old law in the constitution of Britain that prohibits a catholic to be head of state, both the monarchy and government Tony Blair may be a war mongering scumbag but it was very interesting that he converted to Catholicism the week after he stepped down as PM. All very good. Doesn't answer what McClean is banned from, "purely on religious grounds". Of course, the person who made that statement will never come back and justify it.
