Remembrance Sunday

Remembrance Sunday is about honouring people who have sacrificed their lives.

We don’t need you posting a load of stupid waffle from some mental politicised conspiracy theory twitter account, thank you very much.


Remembrance Sunday is all about disrespecting veterans using the day to point score and look clever, the same people suggesting the gobshite footballer has a right to turn his back are calling veterans far right instigators for doing the very same thing but for a different reason.

It's all political now and there is no getting away from it.
 
Away from the political side of things …I’m up with my youngest boots polished , kit ironed and I’ll be dropping her off in Glossop in an hour with the other cadets from her attachment, one last day in selling poppies it’s quite humbling to see these youngsters giving their time and engaging with public in which for me is a great cause . Families and friends will be gathering tomorrow at the cenotaph and us like many others will remember those who we knew and those who we didn’t who payed the ultimate sacrifice. We must and always will remember them.
Long may this continue.

I use to take part in the Manchester one with the army cadets, march from Ardwick Green to the Cenotaph sweating our backs out by the time we got there. Loved taking part in the day, also did bag packing weekends to help raise money for the RBL. Feels like a life time ago.

Thankfully this is the first I’ve heard of any “back turning” nonsense.

Sounds very disrespectful to me.

The day should be a sombre and reflective occasion, not some event for people to air their political views.

Politics has no place on Remembrance Sunday in my opinion - apart from respecting those who gave their lives so we can express our views freely the rest of the year.

Essentially people should shut their mouths and show some respect today.

I'm the same as you mate but the politics is just there only simmering under the surface, this should be a day for those who want to and the ones who don't want to should fuck off for a few hours.
 
Beautifully observed as always and a wonderful tribute to those that have sacrificed so much.

Great also to see that those that choose not to are free to do as they please without fear and retribution.
