That time of year already?

Presumably there will be corona/poppy/NHS-worship crossover efforts. Looking forward to that!!

>Great Days Out

Best of luck with that. Legoland is tits but surely all you can do is look at the lego buildings at the moment.

>>66921
The Fallen would be proud of that. Top-drawer display.

>>66923
If it's a display it shouldn't be on top of the drawers, not in any of them.

>>66922
Everyone I know who has been to legoland said it was shit. Massive queues and dated attractions.

>>66925
I can definitely see it being somewhere you'd want to visit on a weekday in winter which is probably why I enjoyed it. Maybe I should find my old lego driving licence to serve as a hilarious gag in any future interactions with the constabulary.

Saying that, my brother went Chessington a few months back and there weren't any lines.

>>66925
Its target market is 8 year olds, who generally love it. Agreed on the queues though, you have to pay extra for the thing that allows you to skip all the queues - turns out expensive, but at least you get on the rides.

Also, the shop. Oh the shop.

Paint poppies on rocks, lads.

Has it not occurred to anyone in the past seventy~ years since the war that it's fucking daft to have a day commemorated by a flower which blooms a totally different season? Come November there won't have been a poppy blooming outdoors for three months. If you're going to commemorate something with poppies, do it May through to August.

>>66965
You've just got to believe. Same with the easter bunny, father Christmas, Brexit and the tooth fairy.

>>66966
But poppies are real things.

>>66967
So are Easter eggs.

>>66965
Are you dense? Yes they don't normally grow in this season but they grew in the fields after the war because all the mud and dead bodies provided fertile conditions.

>>66969
Do you have a time machine to go back and pick one of those to put on your lapel at the appropriate time of year because if you do I can suggest a lot of better uses for your time machine.

>>66965

Yeah and while we're at it, why is the Daffodil the "symbol of hope" for cancer sufferers when people don't only get cancer in spring? World's gone mad.

>>66971
Probably they grow in all the cancerous growths or something.

>>66972

Are you callin my window planters a cancerous growf m8

>>66971

Its symbolism. It is saying the welsh are a cancer that should be eradicated.

If you don't print out a poppy and put it in your window be prepared to be publicly shamed.

>>66994
I can't wait for the poppy-themed masks.

I've never understood the obsession with poppies this place has, but every year it's the same, I bet some of the posts are even recycled.

>>66996

DO YOU HATE ARE BRAVE BOYS OR SUMMAT?

>>66996
We're not obsessed with the poppies, we're obsessed by the people who are obsessed by poppy-signalling, which seems to get worse year-on-year. It's an annual sport.

>>66998
Now that's odd because I never hear anybody bollocking away about this in real life, nobody seems to care.

>>66999
I do. Maybe there are more of us out there than you realise; generally public, in-person criticism is somewhat taboo because of the reaction of the fanatics.

>>66999
You need to join your local community Facebook group.

I think we peaked with this. Nothing can ever top it.

>A group of self-described 'paedophile hunters' forced a man to observe a two-minutes silence for the fallen yesterday before placing him under citizens arrest. The paedophile-hunting group Predator Exposure apprehended a man in Leeds shortly before 11am on Sunday as people across the country observed a silence to mark the 100th anniversary of Remembrance Sunday.

>In footage that shows a 46-year-old man being seized in Hunslet, the group tell the man: "Right, just be quiet for the silence - two minutes. As the man begins to moan, one member of the group can then be heard saying: “Respect. Respect. I'm telling you now - shut it.” The man then cries during the silence, before being told: “Right, first of all, we're Predator Exposure, we just exposed your fucking arse.”

In real life though, has anyone ever actually been given shit for not wearing a poppy? Me not once, in fact I've people ask me why I do choose to wear a poppy and that's it. I'm not fanatical about it or anything.

>>67005
NHS worship is a whole other topic.

But you're right about them looking even worse in red/black. Terrible colour for trainers.

Here, have a cake.

>>67006
I've never seen it happen or happen to me either, as you say, if anything someone might ask but that's it.

>>67008
There is a bit of moral dilemma for me, I had lots of ancestors who were professional soldiers and also many who were conscripts and were killed at a very young age like most people in this country so I wasn't sure what they would think about this whole thing, whether it really meant anything or if it truly honoured them. But I actually started wearing one because I knew it annoys certain types of people and I'm a smug prick so this kind of petty point scoring matters enough for me to do it. I'm sure my ancestors would understand

>>67009
*as in, most people in this country have ancestors who were killed in war at a very young age sorry fuck I'm retarded

>>67010
You could even go as far as to say most people have ancestors who were killed in war at a very young age

>>67009
I don't think there should be any dilemma - remember the dead, the people who sacrificed their lives, the horror of war? Sure. I'm with you 100%. Quiet contemplation about that is fine. Wear a poppy if you like that.

Dress up your house with war bunting? Re-cover your car, trainers, cakes? Competition for who can have the most or biggest poppy? Come on. That's just mental, and actually, far more disrespectful than us taking the piss out of it.

>>67012
I have never seen this in real irl life ever so to me getting annoyed about is is equivalent to believing tabloid headlines, I'm sure it exists in certain parts of England I'll never have any reason to go to. I am very much in favour of people taking the piss out of ridiculous things I assure you

>>67012

>>67014
Hah, you and I are probably the only posters who get this reference.

>>67014
I think this is another one of those "left wing" games, isn't it?

He looks like he is a member of a certain ethno-religious group who is secretly controlling the world despite his uniform so I think not

>>67017
He's Scottish you muppet.

>>67018
Yes I was referring to Scottish people you muppet

>>67013
Same. Never had shit for wearing one or for not wearing one, whichever applied at the time. It's the same as the notion of people who think you shouldn't say "Merry Christmas" or think you shouldn't wear a certain type of hat because it's cultural appropriation. I've never actually seen any of these people in the real world, only the Tabloids and Twatter.

>>67013
No one here is annoyed is "annoyed" by poppy weirdos, it's just quite funny when people go absolutely bananas for them.

>>67012

The poppy campaign was never about soldiers, it was PR to rehabilitate the public image of Lord Douglas "butcher" Haig. Until 1994, the black bit in the middle was embossed with the words "Haig Fund".

The whole point of the exercise is to distract us from actually remembering the war by creating the jingoistic and vacuous concept of "remembrance". Poppywashing erases the mud, the filth, the stench of dead men and horses left to rot. The people who cover their house with poppies but couldn't find Ypres on a map aren't missing the point, they are the point.

The popular image of First World War generals as bumbling idiots is also spin - the truth of the matter is that they knew exactly what they were doing, they were just utterly callous about squandering thousands of lives for a few metres of ground.

Along similar lines, the single largest donation in the history of the Royal British Legion was given by Tony Blair, who donated the publishing advance for his memoirs.

>>67025
>GIVEN BY TONY BLAIR, WHO DONATED THE PUBLISHING ADVANCE FOR HIS MEMOIRS.

I did not know that. Interesting.

>>67025
>the single largest donation in the history of the Royal British Legion was given by Tony Blair
Never has so much been given by so few to try and wash off the blood of so many

>>67025
>THE WHOLE POINT OF THE EXERCISE IS TO DISTRACT US FROM ACTUALLY REMEMBERING THE WAR BY CREATING THE JINGOISTIC AND VACUOUS CONCEPT OF "REMEMBRANCE".

Or it raises money for the British Legion.

>>67029

You might want to look up who founded the Royal British Legion.

>>67025

>The popular image of First World War generals as bumbling idiots is also spin - the truth of the matter is that they knew exactly what they were doing, they were just utterly callous about squandering thousands of lives for a few metres of ground.

Overall I agree with your point. But in total fairness it's not like the first world war was just a big excuse to send thousands upon thousands of men to their deaths for no reason at all- That's a particularly reductive narrative that I take exception to. There was still the reality of defending France from German invasion, no matter which way you interpret the barmy and baffling way it all kicked off in the first place. To stand by and let it all happen could be seen as equally callous.

France bled far more than we did in the early years of the war; and the problem was not that the generals just wanted to waste their soldier's lives, but merely that the mechanisms of warfare had shifted so radically in terms of sheer destructive power, before anyone's tactical doctrine, strategic planning, or logistical structure could catch up. If it had happened ten years earlier or ten years later, it might have turned out entirely differently, but that time period was an entirely unique juncture of new world technology and old world knowledge.

The great war is a tragedy because everyone was sucked into it regardless of how senseless they could clearly see it was.

>>67030
Was it the French? I bet it was the French. It's always the bloody French.

>>67032
Not sure. I thought it was landed poshos who were afraid of all the poor discharged soldiers kicking off and guillotining them.

>They call it the remembrance period but actually there's no real remembrance going on at all. It's the opposite of remembrance; it's concealment.

Seems relevant.

I don't get why people are mad about kids not getting free school meals when they're not at school. I'd have thought the name gave it away.

>>67066
Same with women's toilets.

>>67066
They're still "in school" despite not being physically in the school building. You're still "in work" on your days off, you're not unemployed.

>>67068
No, but I don't get paid my food allowance either.

>>67069
You're very stupid and confused.

>>67068
>YOU'RE STILL "IN WORK" ON YOUR DAYS OFF

My fucking pay-cheque doesn't reflect weekends.

A corking example.

>>67031
>France bled far more than we did in the early years of the war
But they wore cool bright red trousers so it was all okay

FUCKING ANNOYED THAT HITLER DIDN'T WIN AND DIVIDE PEOPLE BASED ON SKIN COLOUR AND BLAME THE WHITES FOR EVERYTHING

>>67071
I didn't realise it was for what would otherwise be a holiday.
So long as it makes people angry with the Tories I don't care.

>>67081
It's all a bit of a jolly really. Benefits have gone up by £20 per week during coronavirus and there's been an increase in support for things like council tax, housing benefit and if you're in hardship. There's no real excuse for a pauper being unable to feed their kids properly for one fucking week over half term.

The tory stance isn't even that unreasonable. "we agree that children shouldn't go hungry, but we'd rather come up with a holistic joined up approach that targets support at those who actually need it rather than a piecemeal blanket approach created by knee-jerk reactions to the public fad of the moment." let's face it, people don't give a shit about poor kids - they just want to use them as an excuse to bash the Tories.

>>67082
>they just want to use them as an excuse to bash the Tories.
Typical of The Sun really, such a hard-line socialist rag they'll ignore any facts just to get a jab in at the Conservatives.

>>67083
The sun only cares about which way the wind is blowing so they can be seen to be on the winning side, especially considering how much the government likes to flip-flop, cave in and u-turn they can claim it as a victory for the sun when it inevitably happens.

>>67082

The whole thing is just such a pointless unforced error for Bojo. After the hundreds of billions that the government has splashed about since the start of the crisis, this is the line in the sand? Feeding hungry children? It's an act of complete political lunacy that serves no-one, least of all the Tory party.

Don't forget to stand on your doorstep to show that you can remember just as hard as anyone else.

>>67086
Look on the bright side, if it wasn't for the essential "silence" part of the celebration, they would be suggesting we all bang pots and pans.

>>67087
I did see one about Christmas eve and how everyone should go out and ring a bell so there's a bit of magic for the kiddies.

When is this going to end? When February 14th rolls around are they going to say everyone should go and fuck on their doorstep?

>>67091
Seems fair enough, as long as you encourage all the single-people to knock one out, can't discriminate.

>>67090
Oh, aye, kids love bells. When I was a lad I couldn't get enough bells; fire drills, morris dancers, boxing matches, I was mad for it. I'd tell my school mates about how close I lived to the church and they'd turn green with envy.

This fucking country.

>>67093

>fire drills, morris dancers, boxing matches

You jest, but I love all those things.

>>67094
Fire drills are pretty decent. Annoying when it interrupts your work, but they only ever seem to do them on nice days so you basically get paid to stand out in the sunshine for a bit. Can't remember the last time I had a fire drill in the pissing rain.

I could forgive his comments about school meals, crack dens and poor people, this cunt doesn't poppy!!

Local flag maniac has taken their NHS rainbow flag down to replace it with an Are Poppiez one. I guess it saves the appalling dilemma of which to fly higher, or the cost of a second flagpole.

Remember the fallen by wearing a t-shirt that models a bullet through the heart.

Respect!

Another high quality display of remembrancing.

(Aside, where do people keep this stuff the rest of the year? In the loft with the Xmas decorations?)

>>67224

>>67236
I wonder if they use the poppy curtain to keep the bugs out in summer. Might as well get your money's worth eh?

Is there a word or a phrase to describe something which is alledgedly or previously apolitical but is plainly, for all to see, political or is now in its current form?

>>67247
Culture war?

>>67237
It's certainly something, as they say

>>67247
Exploitation - I suppose you could stick political on the front. I'm not sure how tacky decorations or remembrance are political but I suppose OP will come show us more examples next year and so on.

>>67247
Remembrancing is definitely political now - it just isn't partisan; no political party is brave enough to criticise it, so it is difficult for anyone to publicly oppose it or take a different position.

I can't help but note that the right-wing, and particularly the far-right try to wear it as a cloak. The left have flirted with the idea of white poppies, and trying to find a counterpoint, but it is a toxic position for some reason.

It's interesting to note the reaction of the armed forces, particularly those that have directly seen active service in a war zone, and experienced actual combat - many of them refer to it as a death cult. You get the "old boys" who hang out at the 'Legion, but for many of those it is because they didn't see much actual fighting or lost friends or close colleagues, and just want the cheap beer.

>>67251

Remembrancing is going to end up like our country's version of that time nobody wanted to stop clapping for stalin.

>>67252
Exactly that. The fact that people openly tolerate it being commercialised (with tenuously related products) or demonstratively celebrated (such as the garden displays) means it only grows and gets worse, too.

Have a slice of pizza, to remembrance the death and destruction of mechanised warfare.

>>67251
No, I don't think wearing a poppy or taking a moment silence to remember war dead is political. The very fact that it persists is a sign of that.

>IT'S INTERESTING TO NOTE THE REACTION OF THE ARMED FORCES, PARTICULARLY THOSE THAT HAVE DIRECTLY SEEN ACTIVE SERVICE IN A WAR ZONE, AND EXPERIENCED ACTUAL COMBAT - MANY OF THEM REFER TO IT AS A DEATH CULT. YOU GET THE "OLD BOYS" WHO HANG OUT AT THE 'LEGION, BUT FOR MANY OF THOSE IT IS BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T SEE MUCH ACTUAL FIGHTING OR LOST FRIENDS OR CLOSE COLLEAGUES, AND JUST WANT THE CHEAP BEER.

You don't know what you're talking about.

>>67254
Perhaps not. But I also know that this isn't a respectful way to remember war dead, and is an ocean of difference away from wearing a poppy or taking a moment of silence.

>>67255
>BUT I ALSO KNOW THAT THIS ISN'T A RESPECTFUL WAY TO REMEMBER WAR DEAD

So in actuality you just think some people treat it a bit tacky, not that the officials ways of remembrance are wrong?

>>67256
That's my point - I think far too many people are being ultra tacky about it, commercialising it or having competitions on how they can out-remembrance others, or make them feel bad if they don't join in. It has become political.

>>67257
FFS, they used one of the modern Spitfires with two seats to take BBC presenters and OAP veterens up in as a reference. What a shoddy job.

>>67257
Well, as we said earlier in the thread, these people don't really exist to most of us. It's therefore not the object that is political but wingnuts exploiting it for their own gain as usual just as they'll do for any sort of commemoration. Or outright idiots the shipping forecast.

You might as well be calling Easter politicised because some loons think snow-shoe wearers are trying to ban remembrance of the Easter Bunny.

>>67257

>>67258


KJ-I WAS ACTUALLY THE FIRST POSSIBLY ONLY TWO SEAT CONVERSION IN RAF SERVICE, USED FOR TRAINING AND OBSERVATION, EVEN IN WARTIME - SO DESPITE THE ADDED NAFFNESS (I FULLY AGREE WITH YOUR SENTIMENT), IT IS AT LEAST CORRECT FROM A Squadron mark POINT OF VIEW.

THE SPITFIRE BEARING THOSE NUMBERS TODAY IS G-ILDA, WHICH IS A PROBABLY VERY MODERNISED TWIN SEAT REPLICA BASED ON THE SCANT WRECKAGE OF THE SINGLE SEATER SM250. KIND OF A SHAME THAT SOMEONE CHOSE TO RESTORE IT BUT INTO A WEIRD CHIMERA, RATHER THAN THE ORIGINAL BIRD'S SPECIFICATIONS. IT WAS TURNED INTO A TWIN SEAT FOR SOME OWNER OF A FLYING SCHOOL FOR THE PURPOSES OF RENTING IT OUT FOR RIDES, AS YOU TOUCH ON.

MAYBE TATTOOLAD HERE WANTED TO DEMONSTRATE HIS KNOWLEDGE OF RARE SPITFIRE RESTORATION VARIANTS, OR PERHAPS HE KNEW THE HISTORY OF THIS AIRFRAME AND IS USING IT AS A METAPHOR FOR THE COMMERCIALISATION AND GLORIFICATION OF WAR WE ARE TALKING ABOUT IN THIS VERY THREAD.

>>67262

There has been some discrete controversy for some time over Spitfire restorations.
Companies taking the data plate (equivalent of a car vin number) of a horribly mangled crashed aircraft, the remains of which contain almost no useable parts, then crafting a replica.

I saw my first lest we forget flag in the wild 5oday, in Crigglestone. There was also a few poppy painted rocks around Newmillerdam.

I don't get why people are getting up in arms about asylum seekers getting housed in barracks. If it's good enough for are boys it's good enough for them.

Can't wait to be crushed under a transit van as punishment pointing out that the British Army didn't operate Mi-17 helicopter during the Second World War.

And all profits go to NHS, lad, not "the NHS".

>>68158
“Proceeds”, not profits. So basically “we’ll donate some of it if we feel like it”.

>>68157
Is that supposed to be Captain Tom? Why is he saluting and offering a fist-bump simultaneously?

>>68159

Doesn't 'proceeds' in this context mean gross revenue? Which is always going to be more money than just bare profits.

They'll post one of those TV licence "To the Occupier: do what we say or your cat could go missing" letters next.

It's only eight months away, lads. What's your excuse for not respecting The Fallen?

>>68336
may as well finish the job.

Yobbos have only gone and vandalised the captain Tom memorial in Stoke.

>>68508
discraceful bring back hangin' an' national service, that'll teach'em.

>>68508

Are we sure it wasn't some sort of bird? because it looks like it was some sort of bird that pulled all of the stems out systermatically.

>>68522
Are lasses prone to vandalism?

>>68523
A tit you tit

>>68524
Two tits?

>>68525

HOOORAAAYYYY

It's almost that time of year again. Thanks ladm9s there is nothing that cheers me up more than a bit of remembrancing.

Hospice shop is remembrancing, lads.

I'd imagine Spinning Yarns might put on a decent display.

I'm still vexed that wakefield hospice used to sell four books for a quid but it's been 50p each since they reopened after lockdown, plus the selection hasn't been as good whenever I've been in.

Sick of you sneering lefty cunts belittling one of our nobler traditions

>>69869
Why, what do you call former squaddies?

>>69876
Squadids

>>69877
Squadsurvives?
