It is Poppy time again.
Already those appearing on tv football are wearing poppies, though I notice they all wear metal badge type poppies. Only Irishmen do not wear them, no doubt upsetting some. Only a few are seen around the town at the moment, not that I am out and about looking for them, but by next week many more will be seen.
Already some complain they are wearing poppies on football shirts too soon, only wear them on one day they insist, for me I care not, wearing them for the two week period until November 11th is fine by me. But others always know best.
I expect a contest will appear online to see who offers the best display. In my mind these displays have less to do with 'Remembrance,' and much to do with 'English Nationalism.' Sine Brexit this has been one of the mainstays of those who voted for Brexit and a return to the English Empire. These people never talk about the economy now.
I might be involved with the Kirks remembrance service, if so I will mention the women this year, possibly next year I will go for the 'Empire forces,' which some do not know about. All this to fit into about three minutes!
Tommy Robinson, better known to all as Yaxley-Lennon, returned to the land of his birth for another stay at His Majesties pleasure. 18 months this time, all this for contempt of court caused by repeating lies. Lies which he knew were lies but which helped him to gather support from the 'Sun' reading part of the population. He called a young lad a thug and knew he was lying, he was ordered to pay £100,000 damages, and as far as I can see has not yet done so while living in luxury abroad claiming bankruptcy. He still has a further charge to bear later this month.
This man makes his money by stirring race hatred, using the lowest of the low, caring nothing for them and making vast amounts of cash, possibly via that nice President Putin, and appears determined to continue in this useless waste of a life.
I wonder about some people sometimes.
Robinson won't be long in the jug on the contempt charge....but he is in court later for charges under the terrorism legislation for not giving up the PIN of his 'phone. That will put him away for a stretch.
ReplyDeleteYes, do mention the women, and not just the armed forces, but those on the home front too, making shift on the rations and often living under bombardment. Good job mother wasn't giving your contribution...get her up on her hinds and the congregation would have been lucky to escape in under an hour!
Fly, 18 months just now, of which he might do half. It may be next month he is up again. His collection 'for his defence, where he pleased 'Guilty,'' has reached over £100,000. I wonder how much comes from 'other' sources? Your mother and others may well be mentioned.
