Funnily enough, the two minutes silence is a decent and honourable thing, aimed specifically at the ww dead. The fact that ww1 was an idiotic spat between the aristocracy has no bearing on the slaughter and sacrifice of the young.
The poppy has been bent out of shape. The two minutes silence I’m not sure why anyone would have an issue with the Brits observing.
The Lord Mayor’s show is a grand day out.
Everything about the poppy is revolved around celebrating British Imperialism. It’s as much for Captain Robert Nairac as it is for the WW1 dead.

Most likely driven by a powder pissing cunt.
Twas me. I’d just knocked down a poppy wearing cyclist and somehow his poppy had become lodged in the front grille of my car. The cunt also managed to crack the drivers side headlamp.

Well done pal. I saw a cyclist wearing pajamas the other morning, I nearly crashed the car trying to take a picture of him while trying to kick open the passenger door at him while tossing my cigarette out the window as I finished my tweet.

I was specifically talking about the two minutes silence for armistice day,not the poppy, which, as I said, has been appropriated and bent out of shape.
In the darts, Vol Brendan Dolan did not wear a blood soaked poppy against the German Max Hopp who bizarrely did. Dolan won 5-4.

Serious question boys,is James McClean the only man to ever refuse to wear a poppy?Are the other irish internationals not embarrased when they meet up?Hes a man among boys.In a few years it will be left up to players themselves to wear it or not,most foreigners wont,that will be thanks to Vol McClean.
