Wetherspoons pub bans poppy wearers

Good morning reg

As you ask what is this country coming to I must admit I didn’t have weatherspoons coming up with a decision like this,my guess is there share will go down today.

Reg I’ve read up on this weatherspoons do not have this policy at all they in fact sell poppies in there pubs ,this thankfully was a security decision in gosport due to protest marches taking place.

Off course that doesn’t make it right.

they are saying on the msm news that we should prepare for war , many on here will be too old including plans being proposed to raise   the conscription  age limit to 65 for army reservists .

Good morning foyles

What is msm news ?

..FOYLES...." they" have been saying that the Russians are coming for the last 50 years !...

The armaments industry is one of the World's biggest..and cannot tolerate peace.........they are the equivalent of a motor tyre vendor spreading nails onto a road.

We are actually suffering an invasion currently.....

Jim...it's main stream media

jimnast i dont watch much tv or news but get some news /bullshyte when i turn the laptop on and assume that is msm news  ...richgit is correct they were banging on about stocking up on food in the event of war and as a result clowns emptying the shelves of my local supermarket .

richgit also spot on about the invasion.

Thanks to you both for explaining

Lots of MSM hide behind the sofa…..BBC & ITV vomit…..

There’s a plethora of channels if you have satellite that show the lot…..no hiding place.

Mainstream have lots of guests you would like to turn the fireman’s hose on…..

Beans and batteries Jimnast….the end is nigh….oh and bottles of water,spare a thought for people who don’t drive humping all that water home….

Well form if the end is nigh at least we won’t have to put up with having constitution hill updates and news anymore

Incidentally weatherspoons share price increased this morning

Great way to get people spending!

Met a fella yesterday, his wife had bought a wind up radio!

We’re under threat from our adversaries but are allowing the main supplier (Chnga) to build a Super Embassy here?

Sort it out and f ‘em all off!

The WAR in Ukrain is a training ground for new tech and new war strategy.

Not one Mig has flown over Chicken Kiev and dumped anything! C

London faced more onslaught from the air during the Blitz!

So ask yourselves why NO Airforce is engaged in attacks there?

The slow game, put pressure on the rest of Euro sit back and watch it collapse.

War it’s NOT it’s a staged conflict.

Trenches, dig in (stalemate) back then answer was mustard gas, until the plane (Blitzkrieg), now drones.

We’ve come a long way.

Talk of WarGAMES is dangerous as it softens its meaning, watch out for much more of this terminology.

British and Frogletere Paras had a WarGAME in Germany this weekend.

Oh what fun!

Delashay et al, the stocking up advice was in case of a cyber failure not in case of war. The UK conduct exercises every year at this time Delashay , nothing new.

“Defence Secretary warns Britain must be ready for war within 1,000 days”

The headline on the TV C&P from the photo. No need to type it even!

War as cover

Same as ever

It’s scare mongering it’s not difficult to use the correct terminology, stock up in case the system is wrecked by a cyber attack.


It’s a diversion from the problems the gov face here

And it’s wrong to use the word WAR in earshot of a regime who twist and turn everything said to favour their propaganda.

^ pretty much every gov does that

Well this new leader has gone for two scare tactics and making claims that aren’t substantiated, first the Ruskies effected breshit now this.

None mentioned under Stammer seems a porky pie merchant already.

Cyber…..just as well……Uk would struggle tbh……..Finland 1 million trained and ready…….

Cagliari is best for advice,ex soldier…..

You can’t see that it’s all staged? Even the Ukrain affair?

People who refuse the poppy should be deported to some third world cesspit…..

No one should be forced into a 'gesture' of any kind IMO. But banning wearers equally wrong.

they wernt banned for wearing anything  ,the pub was advised not to open  tothose getting involved in marches,protests,jst like every football fan has experienced a 1000 times ,anytime over the last 50 yrs,

You can’t see that it’s all staged? Even the Ukrain affair?



please enlighten us. thats some stageshow. brutal dictator putin invades friendly neighbour, empties the prisons to use as cannon fodder, chucks in some north korean slave soldiers,750 000 dead, ukraine destroyed, thousands of children kidnapped for brainwashing,  millions of refugees, enormous cost upwards of a trillion quid, the biggest disaster since ww2, and no sign of ending

who is behind this fake war iyo? and what is its purpose? if you are correct this is some effort from all concerned, what a show theyve putin

imagine the logistics involved getting all the scandis and baltic states and us mugs to go along with it. must have taken some organising, incredible

I've just ordered three boxes of pom pom and a hamper from F & M just in case to add the ham is exquisite if you have to go go in style and well oiled.

'So who do you think you are kidding Mr. Akhbar'

get yourself lawyered up guys THE SCARECROW is going to sue anyone spreading these lies and advocating people to boycott his businesses,
in the latest leopard eating the spots of my face competition on the right of uk politics

Good money in selling
Poppies, good luck to lads, got sky sports and BBC contracts.

Secutrity guy a bit of an idiot Shock! Hold the front pages.

‘No one should be forced into a 'gesture'

If the newsreader mentioned can’t show RESPECT then she should fo and go work out of the public eye.

Same as when Corbin showed up at Remembrance Sunday not wearing a black coat, he should have been taken away.

No RESPECT NO SHOW.

And yes BFool it is completely staged and obviously you do t think that the lack of AIrForce use by the Ruskies has prolonged the war.

The canon fodder or meat grinder are what the people are in the kazi Gazza, expendable.

Whilst old boys and some younger women are on the front line shooting down drones or snapping the fibre optic cables used on the new drones the rest are partying away in Chicken Kiev going to art events, concerts swilling wine!

It’s a far cry from what Londoners and the other Brits in big cities went through during the Blitz.

Look up further at my comments about how ‘The War’ is being purposefully prolonged and for why that is.

“who is behind this fake war iyo? and what is its purpose?”

It’s shown NATO to be useless, divided the West and pushed America away from Europe.

GET IT? Yet?!

By the way a cab driver a young Romanian chap who drove me to the train station recently told me of how he drove his Ukraine girlfriend back home, out by Marople.

Drove all the way there! And BACK!

Some War Zone that you can make such a undangerous journey!

Yeh keep giving the ungrateful cnts money, because that’s what they are.

Ukrane is a testing ground for new modern warfare, tactics and weaponry.

Corbyn or Corbin which ever…..should be taken to Gaza,he can shout in support from the rooftops ( if he can find one)……

Agreed Ace,

I said to my dad long time back that the likes of him hate all those old timers because they can tell you what it was like in the past.

It was he who pointed out to me that that redneck turned up in a scruffy blue over coat. Stood out like he wanted to. Cnt.

Dreadful individual like Can the mayor…..Trump is right on him tbh….

“ “ “

Can’t argue against, rant over after horse drawn badly! Feel mildly better now, suns out time for a stroll!

Any so called chief who is prepared to watch the human form of toilet spread graffiti on a war memorial are just as bad as the smell committing foul imo….

8 years….no parole or any other P they get…

A shopping delivery driver said they delivered 240 toilet rolls to an old lady after she heard the news!

Robert Dyas sold out of wind up radios!

Good work scaremongers!

Dela, anyone tried to 'force' me to wear a poppy or any other symbol (e.g. rainbow), would soon find where they had it shoved!

Just like my workplace tried to apply pressure for us all to add 'pronouns' on our profiles - mine has none and never will.

Well done "Spoons"  i spent 12 years in the Army, the Poppy was hijacked by the right wing cretins down the pub years ago who fantasise about what they would done if they were in the Military, but the military tell them to F-off, most of the brainless half-wits think Tommy Robinson or Rupert Lowe are patriots,   they are just Grifters, scamming for money ..................

Sounds like you were Pioneer Corps or a base plate carrier in a mortar group?

Highjacked by the WRVS!!

Cag knows.

Least he thinks he does…

delia reveals himself as the greatest dolt on the forum, surpassing some very serious simpletons. well done you 25 carat copper-bottmed group1 gonad

putin is in league with his neighbours to keep the war going as long as they are enjoying it. that is quite something. hats off to all concerned. magnificent effort. theyve shown us all up with this crime against humanity

id keep away from anyone from the region if i were you. you will get a right-hander. if only it was mine

As David Brent would have said about Busy - 'oooh you're hard...'

would he indeed?

didnt kmow he was gay. not really my type but mephedrone makes almost anything possible

To add a little bit to my opening post...Spoons have denied that there's a blanket ban on wearing poppies, in fact they sell them as has already been pointed out
This was a decision made locally by the security staff, backed by the pub manager, who refused entry to the man/men unless the poppy was taken off...they claimed it could be seen as a political statement.

Seems a bit odd to refuse entry unless you take your poppy off, but you can buy one inside?...Although I guess, probably not in this particular spoons,in Gosport?

i would boycott wetherspoons if i ever went in one

i might go in with a 6 foot poppy just so i could walk out

... Went in the one in Chester once as they had a promotion on the Guinness, wow what an eye opener, one poor girl serving, about ten people waiting, the women in front of me thought it best to distract her crying baby by bouncing it on the bar.
I quickly weighed up the situation and about turned and havent nor will I enter one since. ( about 4 yrs ago ).

no wonder she was poor. they dont pay much

on the plus side, they cater for low-life that might contaminate somewhere else

they are so cheap. i know the idea but i also know what it costs, and there aint much difference

“delia reveals himself as the greatest dolt on the forum”

That right yet you haven’t answered why it’s a slow war? Why they haven’t used their airforce to Blitzkrieg those partying in Chicken Kiev!

Feel free in your own time to give an explanation to us all ‘ard nut!


“id keep away from anyone from the region if i were you. you will get a right-hander. if only it was mine”

Were you on the sauce then?

As for hope you’d better be spot on, as I told the sweaty who threatened to throw his hammer at me whilst I was on a roof!

, “Throw it and make sure that it’s a good shot! Because it’ll be coming straight back at ya!”

He stepped down and they ain’t all Clitcho or Toothy.

And Stu I dislike the things that you’ve mentioned and no one would be asking you simply do or your don’t as you don’t engage the public without one.

You’d find employment elsewhere, the comment is about a newsreader who thinks that’s she special.

Loose Women discussing leaking pusss flaps and bloddclats is her level.

No news reading if you can’t give respect.

And STU

What’s with the dislike for the Poppy?

I could understand if a loved one lost a farm in Afghanistan during one of the many invasions or had a loved lost to the mainline.

But personally I can’t see what the issue is with wearing one.

im actually a raving pansy but would still iron you out delia pea brain

its painful to even acknowledge your existence. putin wanted it done in 2 weeks as his lickspittles told him it would be. the notion he wants a war now lasting longer than ww2 and mounting unrest at home is so utterly bananas im surprised even a moron of your very high quality could be that dense

go away

I said I'd dislike being 'forced' to wear anything (including a poppy) - that is all.

If I choose to pay respect to anything, that would be in my own way.

There are far more decent people in weatherspoons than low life

thats true

i know a couple of old boys who go there regular, and stay there all day. cheaper than home

but they will tell you low-life do congregate there. usually drugs or shoplifting involved

Might be the drunks staggering around at midday that puts some off the place though busy

It's not exactly a health club, though I agree it can be used for perfectly respectable meet ups.

Not by me

nobody wants to meet you ion


i dont stagger stoo. you can get a decent-ish bottle of vino at 10 am, unknown elsewhere and jolly handy in an emergency

but as a regular haunt, no thanks

Best pint in spoons is the ipa sumo £3-49 better than the flat punk ipa, bud light 1-99

The Wetherspoons in Oxted is a cracking pub. Great value for a very decent pint. My normal pint of Abbott Ale is on occasions sub £2. Yes please!

Clean as a whistle. Friendly staff. The Breakkie is near faultless for what it costs.

Not saying it is the best but value for money is a definite, especially for how well the place is managed.


I have been in some Wetherspoons where you wipe your feet on the way out however, but not all pubs are run or managed well like any pub across the UK.

know all 27 Oct 26 21:10

Sumo is superb Know all...agreed.....you'd pay tenner a pint up town

My local spoons is OK as well, plus only a 5 minute walk away
After this half term most of the holidaymakers gone, so not as busy as well...as Horatio says, most of the staff are good, it's a good meeting place for us old 'uns
I too drink Abbot, at 2.45 very good value, or the guest ales, and Stowford Press cider at 1.99 also nice

Despite all your blaaaag above tough guy in yur mums blouse you haven’t actually answer why this is?

The slow war has seen a change of leadership in the States, one from one that wanted to back Ukrain to one that don’t give a tosss.

Europe has moved away from this new government in the US and no longer sees it as a protector.

People in Europe are divided over giving these bent lot more money.

Yet you can’t see the point of a slow war

Thick as shat!

Now run along with your over active imagination Bear Tough Guy on the sauce at lunch! WAC
