Post Match Leicester 2 Blackpool 0

The rise of the EDL is having a similar impact to the NF in the 80s on the perceptions of 'patriotic' identifiers. It's a real shame. I don't include the poppy in that though. It's still very much a remembrance thing to most.

 

[ChrisFilter]

A shame for some, I should say. I think patriotism is pretty ridiculous in this day and age, outside of sport.

I think I may now have to put this thread on ignore; the trolling has reached a truly ridiculous level.

Eh? The trolling turned into a grown up conversation hours ago. What are you on about?

Mrs SJN was accused of being racist yesterday ... She was sat in the waiting room at the Royal Marsden, minding her own business eating a ham sandwich, when the woman sitting next to her asked her to move as she was a Muslim and the ham sandwich was offending her.

My wife calmly and quietly explained that as it was her that was offended , maybe it should be her that moved. At which point the woman glared at her and, as loudly as she could called her a racist and got up and moved.

This is the point at which I think I would have flipped. Mrs SJN however, quietly continued to eat her lunch. (Whilst inwardly seething).

Wait, did this actually happen? I'm confused.

Yes, it actually happened.

Yes, it actually happened.

Ha! I knew I hadn't just imagined it.

Was anybody wearing a poppy during the hospital exchange?

 

[bocadillo]

Is it ignaramus' or ignarami??

Neither - it's ignoramuses.

Not that I'm aware of.

A perfectly valid and true point of view to think that a poppy is 'a glorification of war'.

To me it is a symbol of blood lust and delight in warmongering. It's also a way of raising money for the government.

Have they started charging VAT on poppies then?

Just wanted to see if anyone actually reads what I post. Here is what I posted on December 1st in response to ChrisFilter......

A perverted point of view to think that a poppy is 'a glorification of war'.

To me it is a symbol of respect and remembrance for those who sacrificed their lives to defend and protect us. It's also a way of raising money to help those who survive their injuries.

To BM and spionfx - Thanks guys, your comments and support are much appreciated. Sometimes on here it feels like sensible points of view just get ignored. Respect!

Just watched the goals and had a look at the stats.
Both good goals.
We had NO offsides!
Can't remember that happening for a while.
