Re: President Trump & U.S Election 2016 Investigation
At the Remembrance service, we heard stanzas from the moving Ode of Remembrance:
Quote:
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.

Unless it is raining of course ..
Armistice Day: Growing criticism of Trump WW1 no-show

Re: President Trump & U.S Election 2016 Investigation
Talking of which....
.....Nothing can be worse than attending the 100 Remembrance in a scruffy looking Anorak with a tiny Poppy pin, quite like Jeremy Corbyn did yesterday, that was disgusting and disrespectful.

Re: President Trump & U.S Election 2016 Investigation
Maybe Corbyn should have lent Trump his raincoat. Two birds, one stone.
Anyway I am not sure what the official Poppy size is acceptable but the Poppy pin is sold by the Royal British Legion for a higher amount than the paper poppy, I prefer the pin as it's more sturdy.

Apparently, Mick, we aren't permitted to make comparisons with Labour. It's just too uncomfortable for their supporters to bear, and they have no answers.
So it's easier just to whinge on about the Government.

I think you can make comparisons with them, especially the tendency to label all opposition as fake news, but I think comparing not turning up with wearing a raincoat with a Poppy of insufficient size is not quite the same.

Agreed - I have 2 pins, an enamel one from the RBL, and one with my old unit from Poppypins.
( I still drop a fiver in the collection tin each year).

Some of the stuff in this is inaccurate (the bits about the satellite dishes in the radomes), the other bits are mostly right...

From what I can see he was wearing the poppy pin that the British Legion sell. I bought the same one. I paid more than the cost of the simple poppy as I wanted to make sure the British Legion got more money. What *is* wrong is suggesting that supporting the British Legion by buying one of their poppies is "disgusting".
So we now have "Poppy Fascists" now, do we? People going around measuring the size of your poppy and declaring you "disrespectful" if it does not measure up .. pathetic ..

Trump attended memorials over the weekend - no rule says he has to bloody attend them all. If he had have attended them all, the TDS sufferers would have had something else to complain about him.
* Wtf is this two birds one stone shit ?
It's posts like yours thinking a debate is a pissing up the wall contest, is exactly why threads like this one, should be closed!!!

Sometimes you just have to acknowledge the weakness of a politician you might otherwise generally support. Trying to say an attendee is worse than a non-attendee defies common sense.

Have you seen what you type ?
Fascists go around abusing democracy, going on parades, trying to stop a legitimate democratic result!!!
As for the size of ones poppy - Compared to Theresa May's Poppy, Corbyn's was pathetic, along with his apparent, Tesco value anorak!!!

Two birds, one stone = solving two problems/tasks with one move. Trump could have avoided the rain and Corbyn wouldn't be wearing the raincoat.

I don't actually care if Trump attends a remembrance service, I don't think it's especially surprising. I was just responding to your post about Corbyn wearing a raincoat and having too small a Poppy.
Anyway 2020 is starting to kick-off: https://www.politico.com/story/2018/...didates-955261
