Wigan now saying that it was nothing to do with poppies and that McClean is just a useless cunt.

I suspect this to be the truth.

And more dubs support the poppy per capita than any where else in the world… They stick it in their arm rather than their chest.[/quote]

your forefathers surrendered to Cromwell mate, an ad hominem attack on de duds doesnt change that

Signing in. Was over in London today and wore a poppy on my suit. The Irish in our party were surprised but I told them that I wear it to remember my great grandfather who died of his injuries suffered at the battle of the Somme.

225

:rolleyes:

226

there’s better ways of remebering him

i suppose you took the soup at lunchtime?

227

You’re lining the pockets of the modern equivalents of the bloodmongers who gladly sent him to his death.

228

Naw, remembering a man who never got to see the birth of his son as he died of his injuries. His son was my grandfather. The widow Locke had a British army pension from his death. Support the poppy!

229

Saw someone on twitter quip that the poppy window slammed shut today. I thought it was very witty.

230

You were always a Quisling Locke.

Holy fuck. As @balbec pointed out, the Brits have really lost the run of themselves with this poppy business over the last few years. The irony of sloganeering about remembering those that have “protected their freedom” while attacking those that choose not to display what is ostensibly a political symbol, or in this case don’t display it in a prominent enough manner, is entirely lost on them.

236

I can see where you get your cuntishness from now

237

God bless you Paddy Locke, you just did what you could for your family back home in Erin. Your country could not provide so you joined the army to fight a war you didn’t start. I remember you and the thousands who died needlessly with you in the Great War.

238

paddy locke was a murderer and a traitor

i assume you are taking the piss with this shit

239

:confused: What the fuck is all this about?

240

Dead people.
