Every year the Royal Legion have to keep saying it's a choice whether to wear one or not, and every year millions of baying gammon ignore them.

there are giant poppies hanging over glasgow central station, and its clock face is a poppy.
We're all drugged by the poppy.

Funniest/saddest part is that the most aggressive poppy supporters tend to be the national front style gammons who now support neo nazis.
You know, the people who killed the soldiers poppies are meant to represent.

I don't know whether this belongs here or if it deserves a thread or what, but I saw this story and just feel fucking sick to my stomach and want to vent somewhere.
Laughing party-goers burn effigy of Grenfell in 'callous and sickening' bonfire night scenes.
What the fuck is going on in this country that this happened, someone recorded it, and thought it was fine to share. Abhorrent.

Tbh it probably was, probably a burka """joke""" rather than what you're thinking
I think I saw that they'd made a ninja, although clearly that "ninja" was just meant to be someone in a burka. Just all round fucking gross. I reckon they'll be identified pretty soon.
You find some people who care enough to try avoiding using the N word (because they know they will get called out for it) will replace it with ninja, as if that somehow changes the fact they actually mean the N word.
Either that or as also suggested it's a burka reference.
Absolutely fucking disgusting though. The depths some people go and how little empathy they have is insane.
...See, that went right over my head, but now makes more sense in a morbid and disgusting way. Either way, disdain for ethnic minorities who fucking died.
Some of the replies are magical. I wonder why some bellend would try to defend Nazis by citing what the poppy is meant to remember whilst also being too dumb to google something to see if they've got their information right.
Yeah I saw that guy with the old 'well technically it's not exactly what you said" to muddy the waters.
It's not about remembering the dead. It's about trumping how Great Britain is. Kill the Jerries and all that shit. They don't give a shit about anyone, as long as their puffy, rosy cheeks can get drunk on sherry and talk about the good old days.
It's also for people that still glorify shit like Dads Army like it's the most intelligent representation of any World War television comedy.

I got lucky that a local small business was willing to take a chance on me with a job that took advantage of my skills.
And I mean, I have a distinction Mathematics MSc. And I have friends with Masters in engineering who work at Build a Bear because they couldn't find a job that didn't take advantage of them for low pay. They figured if they're gonna get paid low, they might as well do something that's not stressful.
Summation of Channel 4's Brexit poll show yesterday.
https://www.channel4.com/news/major-new-brexit-poll-shows-voters-swinging-towards-remain
20000 people across the UK, went with 54% would stay in the EU.
I am concerned by the 35% of people staying the EU with no deal, whilst 36% say leave the EU with no deal though.

This is indeed good news. That said, as abhorrent as this act was, it's remarkable that these are, so far, the only arrests related to the Grenfell fire.

Yeah. That is tragically ironic.
Heard on the radio that one of the fuckwits in the bonfire video was turned in by I think his father or grandfather...
Lina's bellend comment made my night, but I was genuinely howling at the guy who explained where nazis came from.
Yep, Parliment has a major culture issue. The problem is that it has all become polarised due to Brexit. Pro-remain want to keep him as speaker for abit longer due to Brexit, as a inexperienced speaker couldn't handle the crucial debates properly. Brexiteers want to get rid of him as soon as possible because they see him as a threat to Brexit.
Whoa, he went far there. Yikes.
Maybe put all the drug users on an island until they get over it.
Don't build houses, build prisons because everyone should be locked up for eternity for all crimes.
Do these people not believe in preventive measures, society issues, nipping it in the bud, it comes from somewhere and will remain that way unless you tackle why it's happening but I guess that takes the 30,000 staff you cut.....the lack of opportunity for kids...poverty....idle hands....gang problems...how about you start there.

Problem is the people whose say punishment is everything either don't understand or don't care about all of you're valid points. To them, they didn't go out stabbing someone so no one else's experiences couldn't possibly makes sense of it.
That and racism of course because London gangs are only thought of as a young black problem and gammons dont take into consideration all of the causes for these situations to rise.
Just saw this, absolutely gobsmacked. He wasn't really challenged on this either.
Seriously, fuck that guy.
"Clearly the only thing that influenced people going around with knives in Glasgow was them tripping the sentence from 4 months to 15 months! So let's do the same here! Oh shit, the sentence is already 13 months here so it's highly likely factors other than the length of punishment are what played a major role in lowering the stat? Fuck, better suggest locking them up for 15 years then!"
I feel like there should be some kind of consequence if you're aloud to be on a platform this large and say something that's totally baseless outside of your own idiotic conjecture and actively refuted by the people that actually research the topics. In this case I feel like facing the consequences he suggests are forced upon other would be appropriate. I can't believe there are still thickos that can look at America's prison/judicial system and think "Yeah, we need to be more like that!"
Though hats off to the woman next to him who looks at him as though he's a child trying to explain how he's not the one who shit on the carpet when he was the only person in the room throughout the whole segment.
Edit: I just made the mistake of reading the responses to the Peterson and my God it's not hard to see how hate speech laws have worked fine in Europe or that it's difficult to determine how they're defined given it's easy to understand protecting certain groups over characteristics they have no control over as long as your not a sociopath. It's like history doesn't exist because some MRA dip-shit got triggered by a Canadian law he didn't understand.

God i hate the TPA, i don't understand how they got away with their bullshit for so long, and the link to Theresa May doesn't surprise me either.
There should be stricter rules about think tanks and groups masquerading as tax payers etc.
watched the clip of that insane knife guy.
Glasgow's knife problem wasn't fixed by fuckin' harsher punishments.
It was done by treating it as a health issue and actually getting directly involved with communities where the problem was at its worst.

Fortunately he showed himself up when he dehumanised the people in question at the end there.

Another rich boy. I'm so fucking glad that May's cabinet is a second chance saloon for disgraced MPs though.
Upcoming events:
1. VoNC happens or does not happen. Whips will be working hard to avoid this.
2. Brexit council meeting later this month. Final text, no more modificiations, thus do-or-die for remaining ministers.
3. Meaningful vote amendments
4. Meaningful vote

Forcing a People's Vote to ratify it.
For obvious reasons that particular vote will be a rough moment for Labour.
They'll find it hard to agree on having Remain on the ballot or not
I'm not sure they will. Clearly the deal as is isn't acceptable, neither is no deal... so if remain isn't an option, what's the point in voting?
