thisGRAEME Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Apologies, I couldn't find the old one, feel free to merge. So it's that time again, outrage and fury from those insistent that we remember things by wearing a thing.

Mark Connolly Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 I've noticed portakabins on both Sauchiehall Street and Buchanan Street in the last week, both of which are selling all manner of poppy-related goods - tshirts, hats, hoodies, etc. Is this now a thing? I've never noticed anything like it before. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So i was told. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hampden Diehard Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 (edited) We're becoming more and more like America with this "support our boys" stuff. If we're going to send young guys around the world to shoot at people and get shot at, we should be supporting them when they get back rather than relying on charitable handouts. Football is now infected with this nonsense, giving the usual suspects the opportunity to ram their own particular brand of support or outrage down our throats. Get politics out of football.

"When my kids are my age we won't have Remembrance Sunday...

P45 Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 I don't really see a reason why anyone wouldn't wear a poppy. The red clashes with my green crushed velvet suit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjw Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 I wear one every year but the Poppy Scotland advert this year is annoying me.It comes across as telling you to wear one and the reasons you should. The hijacking of the poppy by britnat/bun types is a worry as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estragon Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 (edited) People who get frothy-mouthed about somebody's decision to wear a poppy or not, in my experience, tend also to be Marine-A-supporting weirdos. ETA - I tend to wear one myself to the Remembrance Sunday service, but the number of fucks I give about what someone else does or doesn't wear = 0.

killienick Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 I don't really see a reason why anyone wouldn't wear a poppy. They have a reason, granted it's an antiquated and, mostly, ill informed reason. But they have a reason. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dee Man Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 I've never worn a poppy in my puff. No particular reason, I just haven't. I did straighten up a poppy wreath that was lying a bit to the side on a memorial on the way up to Thurso last week so I feel I've done my bit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
