Respects in April count triple.
Not big enough!
Posted in the football thread yesterday, but Crusty the Pie shows maximum respect
#poppie
(In all seriousness though, I do find Remembrance Day at football quite poignant.)
Just FYI as if you weren’t depressed enough by the whole charade already, poppies are made by prison labour
Don’t get the whole “I wish it could be Remembrance Sunday everyday” crowd. You don’t see people going around with a red nose when it isn’t Red Nose Day (unless they’re a clown obviously)
Or Fergie
That’s so fucking perfect. The pathetic/non-existent after-care the men shat out by our armed forces receives causes them to be much more likely to be violent offenders. They are then made to mind-numbingly produce the vast number of poppies we need to solemnly honour their sacrifice. The Respect Must Flow
In a prison facility that used to be a former barracks no less
Irony upon irony in the battle for jingoistic conformity
Parents have the TV coverage on and even though the pomp of it all is unnerving, really is so upsetting listening to everyone’s stories of how they’ve dealt with PTSD etc from horrific situations. Especially when its all so unnecessary

On the long bus journey home today for my friends’ new baby’s christening. Bus and all traffic was stopped for half an hour for what I initially thought was a funeral. Then when nobody moved I thought maybe it was a memorial for a recent road death or something.
Eventually got moving half an hour later and I discovered it was some kind Rememberence Day service. In the middle of a main road. Bit much, surely?
Could well be late for the christening now (actually I’ll have plenty of time really but might not have time to go for a poo first as planned. Tragic.)
Unconfirmed reports he skateboarded up to it on the body of a rabbi and spinning back-kicked a WWII vet

Drew a cock on the Queen’s back then danced an Irish jig
