Have you bought a poppy this year?

4, two for me for both my City jackets, and one each for me mum and dad. I got em from college, there sellin em in the main entrance, though the box is practically full. None of the teachers are wearin em and only about 3 per cent of the students are. I suppose it doesnt help when about 55 per cent of the college is black/asian/muslim.

So that doesnt stop them, I went into the trafford centre this week for some new astro trains in sports direct or whatever its changed its name to this week and 2 of the asian lads who work there had poppys on.

Not at all mat im being serious. Im here in one of the areas of the college with a couple of mates, theres about 30 people in the area atm, and at least 25 are non white. As i look out the window, the non white to white ratio is probably 7/1.

Yes two- and two crisp notes placed in the pot. If you don't (like Jon Snow) you're a crow.

Yes,and I always will.
Despite being poles apart from this poster politically,this is one issue on which I agree completely.
Whether or not you agree with the ethics or morality of a given conflict,those who pay the ultimate sacrifice warrant my respect and,(whilst I would never criticise those who choose not to wear one,as is their right),I feel that it is the least I owe those who fought and died so that I don't have to.

I find it difficult to make that distinction tbh. I find it virtually impossible to respect someone who contributes to something I view as abhorrent. I feel bad for them when they die, as I see it as a wasted life, and many of them have no choice but to join up (for economical reasons and others) but that's all I can muster.
WW2 is another matter. That was a just war and a correct action and is the only reason why I wear a poppy. If it was not for WW2 I'd not wear one, tho I'd still donate some money for those families left fatherless.
