The James McClean Sponsored Poppy Thread

It needs to stop. All of it.

Stop the big showy displays. Stop the minute's silences at football games and anywhere else. Stop the ceremonies across the country. Stop the news mentioning it. Not banning it, just stop promoting and let it die out.

Because it hasn't worked. None of it. Even if it had worked we need to move on. It's frankly weird and perverse now.

The 100th anniversary of the war’s end is the natural place to stick a fork in this annual charade; it’s not as if they were commemorating the Napoleonic Wars a century later.

But the various poppy organisations have seen the threat and have tried to turn it into a perennial, Sevco-esque, Armed Forces Day shanfest and so it’s only going to get worse and more gammony every year.

Apart from the minutes silences, that’s what I think about this independence and brexit pish, as you say, move on, it’s weird and perverse

What a load of pish. 

They aren't remotely similar things.

Anyway, don't you have some boots to lick? I imagine it's much easier to bend down to do so without a spine.

If I can just clarify my position, I believe it’s time for Scottish independence, leaving Europe is a mistake and after a hunner years it’s time to let it go, oh and  I’ve never wore a poppy. But you see I’m an adult and accept the democratic process

Interesting* definition of 'accepting the democratic process' given you think that people shouldn't be allowed change their mind on an issue because you just can't be arsed with the extra hassle tbh.

Tragic.  You tried really hard to make a decent point - and one I'd agree with - but then ruined it by referencing The Rangers.

I know you never give sensible answers but surely someone from Planet Diddy can explain why you arseholes reduce everything to us.

It's the choice between a rock and a hard place, bud.

I have said elsewhere that the poppy industry is growing more bizarre by the year.  Still, I prefer our areseholes to your arseholes.

I reckon it must be only a couple of years before someone releases a catchy pop song about Poppies and Remembering and that - thus marking the point where November 11th completes the transformation into Christmas II.

Shooders has missed a trick here.
