Why would you wear the Easter Lily anyway? Itā€™s just wishful thinking on the part of some Republican Barstoolers that they would have been one of the few people to support the lads of 1916 who have enjoyed nearly a century of State propaganda to make them into heroes.

Dont know, kidā€¦ But again, how can a state, that can spend billions on weapons, not afford an auld wheelchair and some rehab for their soldiers?

you seem to be tenuously linking the 2 as if they are somehow comparable. Do people go around saying you should/shouldnt wear the lily? Does it support a state based army?

My original point is that a counter argument to not wearing the poppy by having a go at the IRA is pretty stupid.

Hang on - you were the one linking the two or asking the question with such carefully nuanced statements such as ā€œIs there a flower of commemoration to support and pay for the IRA?ā€ ā€¦

there was nothing ā€œcarefully nuancedā€ about it tallback, as I said, Iā€™m not too pushed about the debate on it all. And I didnt realise the Easter lily was a direct funding event for IRA activities.

As I said, my original point was that arguing that the IRA did stuff is no excuse to be for the poppy.

ā€œThe poppy supports British soldiers who killed innocent people in the northā€
ā€œYeah but the IRA killed people tooā€.

there are other counter arguments to it all, but that one just doesnt make sense.

Have you ever been in a pub near the border and been ā€œaskedā€ to buy An Phoblacht?

Yes.

My impression was whether I supported the cause or not, Iā€™d be well advised to buy. Some similarities with the poppy nazis?

No they just want you to read it and then it is up to you to form your own opinions.

Nope. Havenā€™t seen any twitter or other journalistic type campaigns abusing those who didnā€™t buy it either.

You really have to hand it to the British the way the behave with dignity and respect and observe protocol, they showed the whole two minutes silence again on the BBC news, the French aswell held a massive commemoration to commemorate the dead of all wars, its mighty the way it drives the barstoolers apeshit

How come they can spend millions on weapons but canā€™t afford to buy legless Tim a wheel!chair after a mine blew his legs off? What a disgusting country.

Itā€™s simple really CM, because they donā€™t give a fuck and they are trying to fool more young lads into fighting wars for them.

Who they donā€™t care any less about then their enemies.
