Notable that hardly any of Yaxley-Lennon’s mob were wearing a poppy. Stone island badges yes, but not a poppy.

(Why don’t they call him Stephen? When you see the clips of the clowns greeting him like a king, they always cal him Tommy).

this fella managed to cover all bases far right symbolism and a poppy, with no sense of the irony involved

How stupid, simple and easily manipulated must you be to be whipped up into an angry frenzy by Braverman and the right wing press?

Absolute morons.

We had plenty of them on here, frothing at the mouth about people marching on the cenotaph, interrupting ceremonies, all that bollocks despite the March never going within a mile of it.


And then you have the people who think it’s disrespectful to March for a ceasefire on the day of the most famous ceasefire in world history, but have no problem with premier league games taking place at the same time and have never batted an eye at the EDL protesting at every Remembrance Day.

They haven’t been on much today. Maybe they’re making their ways back home.
 
Chants from coked up football fans and far right imbeciles like "you're not English anymore" at the Met Police is a direct result of Suella Braverman's words. This is a woman tasked with ensuring the safety of British people and the upholding of the law. She should be sacked immediately.

His use of that name is the height of cynicism. What could be more patriotic than a "Tommy" or Robin of Loxley?

Saw this the other day amidst all the noise about 'respecting our traditions '. Wonder what he would have made of today's events.

I think it’s fair to say that the culture around poppies and Remembrance Day has veered off track somewhat in the past 15 years.









The problem is that it went from being something you would choose to wear, to something you were obliged to wear, which defeats the whole purpose. We’re now at a point where if anyone goes on TV between October 11th and November 12th without a poppy then there’s dozens of complaints, which is how you end up with the Cookie Monster and football mascots wearing them.

And then because when wearing one doesn’t distinguish you as respecting the fallen because everyone else is already wearing one, you get people buying and wearing bigger poppies, or creating poppy decorations like you would see at Christmas, dressing up llamas and dogs and what not.

Then the nationalists and far right have tried to use it as a symbol of Englishness and patriotism and tried to co-opt it.

I think it’s a real shame what has happened to it, but I also think the core message- the one that’s become so obscured - is really important, so this virtue signalling who’s-more-patriotic idiocy is something we have to endure for another decade or so, and then I assume it will fall out of favour with these types and go back to being used as a sombre and respectful thing.

People forget she's already been sacked once for serious security breaches. My partner is a civil servant in a similar department and you can not overstate how serious her actions were. People in less senior positions will be fired for far less and never expect to work in the civil service again.
