Ethnics dont wear poppy's

fink they were queing up to see em...................

Dirk wears white socks

Nor in any charity runs etc.

....is it compulsory?

relax.............U dont av to go..............

why would they we are just a host for the parasite to feed on and expand

hating all this wearing poppies business - all worn by celebrities ,footballers ,television presenters , the Royals ,camp chefs ,pop stars - you name it - anything so theyre not seen in a bad light by the Poppy police .
Football kits with sewn in poppies (next to a Wonga advert)  erghhhhhhhh !  Almost sickening to watch .

What next ? a rememberance parade with SPORTS DIRECT sponsorship -can't be far away

folk who do good deeds MOST of the year maybe don't need to wear a poppy ?  generous good deed folk don't want to be TOLD what to do and how to behave by the media and  the system

either you put a pound in the box and leave it at that or you don't  ,maybe also to go to a service to pay respects maybe esp if you had family who served in the great war  if that is how you prefer .

or died in any war *

What do you expect in Barking?
It's the sh!thole next to Newham and gets all their overflow.

LEST WE FORGET
WEAR YOUR POPPY WITH PRIDE

Too many people with agendas trying to diminish the importance of Remembrance Sunday.

Ethnics do eat puppies.

Too many people with agendas

exactly my point 

I'm from ethnics , in case you couldn't tell 

A great reddit post from an ex-military on the huge trend of (you must) soldier worship, this decade

Maybe I should have waited till tomorrow, but as it's the words of a soldier....
------------------------
[i]ThirtyEightSpecial

The article is about the Royal Marines, but I'm an American, and as such I've only experienced this with the US military, so that's what I'll talk about. I'm not sure how to say these things delicately, so please bare with me.

Soldier worship is a recruiting tool, first and foremost. The benefit there is obvious; you get impressionable young people to sign up to do something that, objectively, is a horrible idea most of the time. However, it's also a social tool.

By social tool I mean that its powerful propaganda that instills certain ideas about war in the general citizenry.

Roughly, it goes something like this: soldiers are honorable heros = what soldiers do is honorable = the military is honorable = war is honorable = otherwise unforgivable government action is unquestionable. That's obviously a really simplistic way of saying it, but that's the end result. It creates war apologists.

Most discussions about the ills of war will be shouted down as if you're slandering a religion.

Anti-war and anti-imperialism were strong sentiments after Vietnam. The government obviously had a problem with that, but with the burgeoning information age, it was difficult to convince people that war was some how ok. Instead, they pick the smallest instrument of war, the soldier, build a hero myth and kick the propaganda into high gear.

The result is that they can still make unforgivable wars and people will largely support it at first, the ranks are staffed and in the end there are very few protests. You can even see people mentally grappling with this saying "I support the troops, but not the war".

An interesting side effect of this is that some young men join the military believing the myth and eventually realize they're actually doing something horrible. It causes massive depression when it's far too late.
And so you see soldier suicide rates skyrocket.
In the end you just have to look at the VA to see that the government doesn't believe their own myth.
Rest in peace Mike and James.[/i]

Because if the powers that be aren't careful, there's going to be a huge inevitable backlash in the future

Two sides of propaganda on display here Poppydog.

"Please bare with me"?!!  Luckily, he's an American soldier. 

Saw a black fella on Saturday wearing a poppy, eating fish n chips from the wrapper and just about to go into the municipal swimming pool.

Kidzworld, East Ham High Street, Newham.

If you want a Peppa Pig toy, don't bother visiting, they carry no stock.

Shopowner is either a muslim, or a white bloke who doesn't want to upset the locals.

everyone has an ethnicity u idiots. i bet you are most likely caucasian ethnicity.

10/10 for observation ^^^

Yep, I went in to Homebase (Wimbledon) at the weekend and they didn't have any outdoor-furniture covers of the size I required. Rivers of blood, mark my words.

Tesco doing okay.

it's been a good year for the roses

Even the White Poppy wearers have bottled it and are also wearing a Red one.

I went to the Tower to see the poppies today, with my young daughter.  Needless to say it was packed.  One of my first thoughts after arrival was to make sure we weren't anywhere near any Asian fellas wearing backpacks.  Then it dawned on me that I couldn't see a single non white person amongst the thousands of people interested in the event, which was kind of bizarre in London.

The poppies don't glorify war, they do the opposite.  They signify the huge and senseless loss of life and the suffering endured.  Wearing a poppy is a mark of compassion and understanding towards those still alive who were directly affected by the war.  It might bring some perspective, understanding and gratitude to people living in much more fortunate times, which arguably wouldn't be the case if these young men hadn't fought so bravely.

One of my first thoughts after arrival was to make sure we weren't anywhere near any Asian fellas wearing backpacks.

Seriously? Are you genuinely that paranoid?

No I was joking you gullible fool

..Clydebank..I visited the tower last week and experienced the same.I remember passing the remark to my misses..there were literally thousands of people  yet just the odd one or two non white..what does that tell you?

At any of these celebrations in London , Diamond Jubilee , Mayors Show etc never does the huge crowds look like a multicultural wasteland .

I think large chunks of the indigenous population are so fed up of the destruction of the Britain of only a few decades ago , cannot get enough of these events.

I don't go to those sort of events and don't wear a Poppy does that make me a traitor?

No....your missing the point

I also think that anyone who joins the Army  of their own free will  deserves no more help than any other person.  Getting your legs blown off doesn't make you a hero.

you're making too many posts

Thousands of those poppies represent ethnics who died fighting
for Britain.

How many..approx?

spot on, agree 100%

The Baron, MisterBadger

It is a great pity anybody gets their legs blown off defending anybody like you

Our soldiers protect us, without them what do you think would happen to this country?

Sica Dan

You are right Sica, a great many Commonwealth soldiers died for this country in 2 World Wars


Any Nation which does not honour it's war dead, scarcely deserves to survive

Did Labour ask any of them to respect our culture? in the same way we were told to respect their cultures? and indeed let them take over in some towns like Rotherham and Tower Hamlets.

Ethnic  Commonwealth deaths would have been in excess of 150 thousand.

Isn't it a pity then that so few of them show respect for those who perished on the battlefields.

The thing is there are no WW1 survivors and WW2 survivors are dwindling fast.  So where does the money go?  Does it go to help people injured in Iraq?  the iraq war wasnt protecting england, in fact you could argue that it helped cause 7/7 and certainly helped cause their current problems.

It is our politicians who start wars. Our soldiers do the dirty work.

Soldiers have committed to defend this country, they cannot make judgements on the wars we fight.

I to wish we could live in a world where we resolve our disputes peacefully

But until we do, we need our military to protect us, that is reality.

What do you think would have happened if nobody though it worth fighting for us in 2 World Wars.

The Germans would have walked in, occupied us. They would have treated us exactly how they felt.

Nobody in this country could have done a thing, unless we were prepared to fight.

Our country would not even exist without our soldiers, sailors and airmen.

Ethnic  Commonwealth deaths would have been in excess of 150 thousand.

and I am guessing the vast majority were either Sikh or Hindu. Can you find me the number of Muslims that have fought with the Allies?

I do not know BB

But this country has been attacking Muslim countries for over 20 years.
I am afraid Muslims empathize with them, not us.

But it is not our soldiers who are to blame, as far they are concerned they are protecting us.
And I believe dying to protect one countries is a noble cause.

The fault lies with our politicians who have continued to lie to us, backed by a corrupt media.
Sadly people believe them....frankly I have yet to hear a word of truth from either of them.

When I say corrupt media, I mean in the sense they simply print what the government tells them to

But this country has been attacking Muslim countries for over 20 years.

We helped the moslems in kosovo.

They'll be glad of your support Mr Badger.

So you think, that surprised me.

I give donations to every poppy fundraiser I pass in the street but I always politely decline a poppy as I have never worn one.

Posted this before, anyone see the obvious, eh... mistake?

The soldier 2nd from the left has his hat at the wrong angle.

They look like German uniforms.

Of course they are, Airdrie apologised later for the little faux pas.

Burton Brewer.... you might like to check out a film
called Days of Glory, its about Arab/Moslem soldiers
from France's African colonies.

There was two minutes silence at 11:00 in most shops

All the ethics I saw observed this, even if no poppies

The ethnics who fought for us in WWI got a pretty deal, they were

They simultaneously died for us and experienced racial prejudice from us

I would not blame our no ethnic soldiers, because they had been brought up to that

This country endured a horrific experience in both world wars....it is always going to mean more
to our ethnic population. than people who have come to us later

raw deal

to our ethnic population = our indigenous population in last line

Ah but they like to attack old vets on their way to the cenotaph. Seems to me that there has bee a spate of these asian attacks on vets.
