Remembrance Sunday

[Blue Maverick]

It will be done on Saturday

A special time made nauseating by those that for most of their Service were wriggling out of deployments or hiding behind biff-chits posting pictures of themselves in full rig on social media.

Yes. Just like the majority of the Facebook and Instagram 'heroes'. I know quite a few ex servicemen and although I can't claim it to be a representative sample, it does seem like the bullshit and attention seeking at this time of year is in inverse proportion to 'action' seen. The ones who really did have busy careers from an operational perspective seem to be fairly quiet about it.

I am seeing reports in R/W leaning media that veterans are supposedly planning to turn their backs on Starmer at the Cenotaph this Sunday. If so thats disgusting. Its always been an event to honour the fallen - I can imagine who is behind politicising the event and frankly if thats what they want to do I'd just take the whole thing into Westminster Abbey and let them make their pathetic gesture off camera

And why are you reading right wing shit like that in the first place? These people are toxic and backwards, let them be, ignore them

Why would they turn their backs on Starmer?

because they are being told he is a traitor deserting his country giving bits away and mistreating them .......... I mean its the denouement of the last decade - people believing lies. In our local Sainsburys yesterday there was a poppy seller with a Reform Ltd badge on. I asked him why he was wearing that and he said it was "because they are true patriots who support veterans". I told him what Tice, Farage, Okeshitt and Alex Phillips have said about the Legion and he just said "you are a pathetic liberal piss off" - no different from an RNLI station flying a Reform flag - deluded and not bright enough to understand what is happening.
