I stand corrected, although with only two appearances that’s one of my less embarrassing mistakes he signed two years ago so the grudge joke still works 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottsdad Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 The Dunfermline team today was all decked out in their staunchness. Poppies on the tops, and the captain's armband. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No country suffered more than Poland under the fucking Nazis but they don't feel the need to turn remembrance into a shitshow. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthernLights Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 I see some Irish guy not wearing a poppy is causing "OUTRAGE" again. Paul Mescal causes outrage by not wearing a poppy on Graham Norton show 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poppies on the tops, and the captain's armband. Aye, noticed that. What's the point in it? Who is it for? We can't be too far away from some clubs having poppies on their shirts permanently.

Without him and his pal's we would not be where we are today. LEST WE FORGET But that's the thing, we have 'forgotten' (not saying that you are insinuating otherwise though). The whole poppy bullshit long ago lost its meaning. It's an utter nonsense and needs to get so far to f**k. War and the military are glorified and fetishised and made out to be something to aspire to, not something that should be avoided unless as an unavoidable last resort. Also we still see stupid wars started by small, petty men, where people are needlessly killed. 'Lest we forget' is absolutely meaningless now. It's long since become a parody. I don't mean this as an insult towards you personally, rather more as a general observation. I think that what you mean by it is the original sentiment, but that's different to what it has become. Also, and this is the most controversial (to others, not to me), and it will never happen, but we need to move on from it all, especially since no lessons have actually been learned (I mean in general, not folk personally reminiscing about relatives who have passed away).

Satoshi Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 My grandfather also served in WW2 (one of the acceptable wars). There is every indication he despised it, he rejected campaign medals and (to my knowledge) never wore a poppy. He never discussed the war or showed any intention to. Maybe he remembered in his own way. I think he was just horrified at the whole thing to be honest. If he saw what remembrance day has turned into I don't doubt it would disgust him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
