Where Does This Stop ???

[lanesra 3,994]

Just listening to Jon Gaunt on pod-cast , an RAF bloke went to a hospital in Kent after getting an eye injury , he was moved on numerous occasions into corners so he wasn't on view (ABSOLUTE DISGRACE) as the staff told him his uniform might offend "CERTAIN PEOPLE" . . This is beyond a joke now , how do some people not see what's going on here ??

I WENT into a public 'ouse to get a pint o' beer,

The publican 'e up an' sez, " We serve no red-coats here."
The girls be'ind the bar they laughed an' giggled fit to die,
I outs into the street again an' to myself sez I:
O it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' " Tommy, go away " ;
But it's " Thank you, Mister Atkins," when the band begins to play
The band begins to play, my boys, the band begins to play,
O it's " Thank you, Mister Atkins," when the band begins to play.

I went into a theatre as sober as could be,
They gave a drunk civilian room, but 'adn't none for me;
They sent me to the gallery or round the music-'alls,
But when it comes to fightin', Lord! they'll shove me in the stalls!
For it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' " Tommy, wait outside ";
But it's " Special train for Atkins " when the trooper's on the tide
The troopship's on the tide, my boys, the troopship's on the tide,
O it's " Special train for Atkins " when the trooper's on the tide.

Yes, makin' mock o' uniforms that guard you while you sleep
Is cheaper than them uniforms, an' they're starvation cheap.
An' hustlin' drunken soldiers when they're goin' large a bit
Is five times better business than paradin' in full kit.
Then it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an` Tommy, 'ow's yer soul? "
But it's " Thin red line of 'eroes " when the drums begin to roll
The drums begin to roll, my boys, the drums begin to roll,
O it's " Thin red line of 'eroes, " when the drums begin to roll.

We aren't no thin red 'eroes, nor we aren't no blackguards too,
But single men in barricks, most remarkable like you;
An' if sometimes our conduck isn't all your fancy paints,
Why, single men in barricks don't grow into plaster saints;
While it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an` Tommy, fall be'ind,"
But it's " Please to walk in front, sir," when there's trouble in the wind
There's trouble in the wind, my boys, there's trouble in the wind,
O it's " Please to walk in front, sir," when there's trouble in the wind.

You talk o' better food for us, an' schools, an' fires, an' all:
We'll wait for extry rations if you treat us rational.
Don't mess about the cook-room slops, but prove it to our face
The Widow's Uniform is not the soldier-man's disgrace.
For it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an` Chuck him out, the brute! "
But it's " Saviour of 'is country " when the guns begin to shoot;
An' it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' anything you please;
An 'Tommy ain't a bloomin' fool - you bet that Tommy sees!

It won't stop,this is what cultural marxism is all about,the decay of our values and sense of national pride.

[lanesra 3,994]

[Francie 6,368]

Complete disgrace.

That's where the brain washing is being done

It's disgusting. Who gives a shit about the people who "might be offended". I'm offended by this sort of nonsense.

[Lloyd90 509]

I can't believe it, I reckon its made up by right wingers surely

 

If I was in the raf or the worker in the hospital, or even a passer by I would go f***ing nuts if I saw it happening.

 

I just can't see any right minded person catering to the bollocks of "it might offend someone"

Denying it off hand is burying your head in the sand.

 

It might not fit in with your version of reality,but people from different ethnic and cultural groups generally don't get on unless they're forced to.

 

The fact is,it's probably in that mans best interest he wasn't on display in uniform in public,especially if the area's 'diverse'.

 

Not long ago a British soldier was identified by 2 orcs because of his clothing,walking through London,he was run over and beheaded.

 

Remember that?

Its happened before troop told not to wear uniforms whilst out in town

It's going to end when no more of our kids want to join the forces because it's nothing to be proud of

And we have to fill the ranks from abroad

But that coin has a flip side......

 

It ends when enough of us say "No more !"..........

lanesra, you're right. Where does it stop? Uniforms offend, crucifixes offend, drinking offends. It's the start of a slippery slope. What else could offend? Women with short skirts? Maybe they should cover up so as not to offend these sensitive souls.

 

What exactly do other countries do to ensure I'm not offended when I'm there? Nothing. The simple way to ensure I'm not offended by foreign customs is simply not to go there. To go there and expect them to change everything to suit me is ludicrous. As if anyone would be crass enough to try that.

 

Oh hold on.....
