Well not really: your contributions were simply too cretinous to be noticed at the time. Not sure you're desperately trying to draw attention to them again, like some sort of jakey Paxman. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tacky beyond belief, and full of stuff perfect for the attention-seeking grief merchant in your life - a "Lest We Forget" hoodie, branded Poop Bag Holder (http://www.poppyscotlandstore.com/poppy-gifts/pets.html ) and poppy-stamped Titleist golf balls being particular lowlights. Yep: there's an even tackier merchandise stall set up in the Oak Mall in Greenock - so much for the 'quiet dignity' of a poppy sufficing. Though I guess credit is due for somehow managing to be the most cringeworthy addition to that failed bin of a shopping centre; it's quite an achievement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milton75 Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 It's a simple mark of recalling how shite killing folk is and it's apolitical. If it was truly apolitical, 99% of the predictable rhetoric from certain quarters wouldn't be happening. And I mean that to reflect the extremists on both sides of this debate.It is political. Even proclaiming yourself to be a pacifist is a political stance. There is a distinct lack of honesty in this whole squabble. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of the ludicrous deflection, just answer the question. Yes it was. It's fairly self-explanatory: a soldier is paid to 'defend' the British nationalist state. So a Britnat soldier then. The fact that the British state hasn't actually had to defend itself against any credible threat since 1945 means that they are not in fact selfless heroes, but rather mercenaries doing it for the cash. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 What's brave about signing up to go fight someone that isn't coming trying to kill us nowadays?

dorlomin Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 12 hours ago, renton said: Yes, futility. For all the strategic necesssity of defending the low countries, the cost ended up out of all proportion to the gains. You can look at social attitudes of the time, the frustration stemming from a lack of change in society, the lack of what might be termed the 'fruits of victory', the rise in socialism at this time, the eventual toppling of Haig's reputation after his death in '27, So no actual proof that most British people thought the Great War had been futile. Just waffle about Haig's reputation. Trust me you can fight for something you believe in and still believe you commanders are clowns. Its almost a default setting for soldiers. And defending Belgium was not "strategic", not for the British people. It was moral. Sometimes you have have to fight for moral reasons. Quote I would note that this whole thing never used to be an issue and has become more prominent as the years pass. What once was a quiet moment of respect is now something where public figures are pilloried if they aren't seen wearing poppies for two weeks prior, where you can now show your virtue signalling On this thread people have been attacked for simply saying they donate to the Poppy Appeal. No problem for you. The right wing press have always been jingoistic twats (Foot/ Cenotaph). One of the big changes that has happened is the Poppy Appeal is no longer heart warming black and white pictures of cheeky chapies in the brodie helmets and a fag in their mouth off to a battle no one has heard off in a campaign no one remembers. Now its pictures of young men and women in their Mark 6 helmet and a follow up of them in a wheel chair garnering sympathy for modern soldiers. Seeing the disabled young people as sympathetic is described as "drumming up support for modern wars" and your rather weird "fetish" comment. I can absolutely guarantee you most younger former soldiers in the UK do not feel "fetishised". You people just do not want this generation of soldiers to be shown in a sympathetic light. Quote and the populist alt right are now the centre of political gravity Alt right is an alternative name for the up to date KKK style right in the US. Quote popular right wing paper is today rounding on the judiciary over brexit and outright called an established pillar of liberal democracy 'an enemy of the people'. Pictures of disabled veterans from Iraq caused this? Both the left and the right politicise poppies and use former armed service personnel and the poppies as proxies for their war on each other. Neither has the interests of the ex soldiers at heart. The main difference is that more right wing is mostly around the dead tree media and that is seen as more influential. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
