God be with the good old days pre 1967 when Doug and co. didn't need to be pussyfooting around those awful Fenians and their politicians.

f**k me boys you are easily annoyed. Poppy mania is mildly annoying at best.

What is different about poppy and easter lily? They both commemorate militants and are misused in certain parts of Ireland?

One commemorates people trying to colonise a country, another people trying to end that colonisation.

Christ and I thought the poppy fascists were bad

What exactly was wrong, or fascist, about my statement?

The last time England played on November 11 was 1987 vs Yugoslavia. Shirts had on them an embroidered Umbro logo & an England badge.

The poppy appeal is used to raise funds for military personnel who fall on hard times .  Simply parliament voted to send the BA to war , parliament voted monies to pay for said war , parliament should them make sure soldiers are provided for on leaving army.

I used to help out in a homeless shelter in London and a good chunk of the alcoholics were ex service with serious mental health issues who die 10 years before people in offices do.  The hypocrisy of the 11 Nov always sickened me. They don't take care of their soldiers. In 2003 they sent squaddies off to Iraq for what ?

Buying poppies is easy. Changing structural abuse is very hard.

What's the difference between wearing a poppy or a freestate minister playing a full part in remembering British Army war dead,and Mary Mc Aleese travelling with the Queen of England to foreign killing fields to do so.

What war dead and what killing fields?

I remember a few years ago when people were angry at Blair when lots of soldiers coffins where brought home. Sent to die in a needless war etc. And yet they still enlist.

I'm shocked that Tony's wife tried to bate a Protestant woman out of the Vatican. Fair play to the woman for standing up for herself and not allowing this to happen.

This shocked me too.
