I think I just hate most people in general really.

Yep, I buy and wear a poppy, but it saddens me that like most things nowadays, remembrance has been turned into an ott circus by dickheads.

Within what context is she using the word 'snowflake' there?!

Typical lefties, getting all worked up at the first sign of mass child murder :roll: will they ever grow a spine?

The fact that the protests have been mostly peaceful so far and that the one planned for Sunday will take place after the rememberence event, away from the Cenotaph seems to be being conveniently ignored by the right wing arseholes.

Also protesting over 10,000+ dead Palestinian civilians in no way equals supporting either terrorism or antisemitism.

It's on Saturday, after the 2 minute silence and is planned for Hyde Park. :lol:

If there is violence, then the politicians and media will be at fault. But like strawberry float will they ever admit it.

Outrage about an anti-war protest on remembrance day is a very nice demonstration of how the meaning of the day has been corrupted

It's like the "no fighting in the war room" Dr Strangelove line.

"No protesting against war anywhere near the memorial to the war dead! Lest we forget!"

I guarantee the majority of the dead wish they were alive to see it.
