Heās English so fair enough.
There is a quite tasty Irish lass on BBC news 24 was wearing one last night. I suspect, like most, she isnāt bothered enough to kick up a fuss.
Interestingly, of the paper reviewers, an Indian lad was wearing one, and the white middle class English lady wasnāt.
Fucks sake itās a bad state of affairs a fella pulling us up for mourning the peopleās princess.

FIFA IS CONSIDERING sanctions against the Republic of Ireland for wearing a political symbol during a friendly in March, a spokesperson for the world body confirmed this morning.
Irelandās commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the Easter Rising on their shirts has become more sensitive with England and Scotland locked in a battle with Fifa over the wearing of poppies in tribute to war dead.
A Fifa spokesperson said āThe disciplinary committee of Fifa is evaluating the matterā of Irelandās shirt.
The spokesperson added that there is no specific date for a decision.
Ireland had the years 1916-2016 and other symbols on their jerseys for the 25 March friendly against Switzerland.
When contacted by The42, the Football Association of Ireland said it was unlikely they will be commenting.
England and Scotland have used the Ireland example in their negotiations with Fifa over whether they can wear poppies on black armbands when they play each other in a World Cup qualifier on November 11, which is Armistice Day and the traditional day for Britons to pay tribute to their war dead.
Fifa has rejected the poppy saying it is a political symbol.
Fifa sources said that Ireland did not need to ask permission for a friendly but there are different rules for World Cup matches and other official tournaments.
A lesson there for the Brits. stop taking about things and shut do it quietly

Iām not pulling anyone up on either wearing a poppy or the black armband. Iām just curious as to how peopleās views are aligned.
what?
Wot?
Huh?
They wouldnāt get the chance to feed their WWI obsession if they did.
Two world wars and one world cup. (all three with generous assistance from Russians and Americans)
I for one was absolutely disgusted at the soup taking over reaction to this slags death. FFS, the Liverpool / Newcastle game the following day was cancelled, which really put me out.
That prick on Nolan Live last night was complaining about āthem down southā wearing a political symbol on the shirts and the brits wanting to wear a symbol to remember their fallen heros and how the two symbols mean completely different things
There was an old firm game cancelled too . There was a fear the the silence might be disrupted . At that time Rangers were going well and Celtic were finding their feet under the pornstar . The game was replayed later in the year ( I attended ) and Alan Stubbs got a late goal to give Celtic a fortunate equaliser . Celtic got a bit of momentum and stopped the 10 in a row.
