White ****ing poppies.

As a nation we have lost the plot humans have became weak there ain’t no real men left in the world I sat with two men that talked of war there story’s were amazing I have total respect for my elder generation but look what we have become including myself internet warriors that put likes on peoples posts and pictures that we will never meet wtf has the world turned into there biggest war was the freedom of speach  which now is being taken away from us be proud of your fathers grandads members of your family who were killed  speak up be heard and be proud carry there story’s on .

The left wing liberals have hijacked the poppy for their own political gains ... the white poppy is to commemorate all fallen people of all wars and conflicts ... so alongside our British and allied dead they commemorate the death of nazis that tortured starved and brutally killed millions of innocents ... the Japanese that inflicted terrible horror and cruelty on our troops that they captured ... isis that have unleashed untold horrors on their captives with filmed beheadings mass rape of izidi women and girls burning people alive all filmed and transmitted for all to watch .... I first marched at a rememberance parade as a cub then as a boy scout then as an army cadet and then as a serving soldier and my pride grew with my age and i find it deeply offensive that the very people our forefathers and many of my friends died to protect have the audacity to claim red poppies symbolise war and the white poppy is for everybody ... this sickening self loathing of who we are that is being taught to our kids in schools and universities needs to stop or this once proud and brave nation will be lost and we will all be wearing white Poppy’s alongside our white feathers ......

Eating dinner then going into town to see the poppy’s falling on Canadian parliament 117,000 fall until 9.30 saw it last night and it’s truly humbling.

Stood for an hour drinking coffee beside the centennial flame watching the poppies fall and the names and faces scrolling on the screen.

It was sad mate,realising that each poppy represented a real person,with family,a real life,dreams,aspirations,ended suddenly,prematurely,painfully,so we can live on a future easy Street,all the more reason not to forget.
