REMEMBRANCE DAY




Remembrance Day is a day for us to reflect on those friends, family and loved ones who paid the ultimate price in protecting us and keeping us safe from the perils that haunt this earth. A time to remember the sacrifices they made in our name and of the bravery it took to make those sacrifices.
We wear our poppy with pride, it is a symbol of our gratitude to those who died or suffered horrific injuries in carrying out their duties as our nations protectors, that pride is mirrored in our hearts when we see servicemen and women, past and present, march past the cenotaph with memories of lost or injured comrades.
It is not shameful to shed a tear when we think of those friends we will never see again, or to grieve at their passing, they were men and women of the highest order who I, for one, will never forget and they will live, eternally, within my heart.

I have posted a couple of pictures of how a group of Muslims demonstrated their views of our fallen heroes and I could follow it with my thoughts of them....but I wont. I will leave you to decide for yourselves why it is that we protect, house and feed these vermin.

sunny sideup: I totally agree, how can they disrespect our heroes in such a way and get away with it. if we had done it to their people we would be called racist. im appalled to see this behaviour going on and nothing done about it.

Colwyn Bay appears unaffected by the great influx of Muslims and other groups that have moved into most other areas of the UK. In my business I am required to travel the country and in my opinon the outrageous behaviour by muslims on Remembrance Day is a very small manifestation of things to come. People have great concerns and fear about the future, only an ostrich would ignore all the warning signs. Something positive must be done to reverse the insane invasion of our country, NOT to take action will undoubtably mean the end.

I believe I used very similar words to that in a different thread.

A DISGRACE AND AN INSULT TO OUR WAR DEAD

Shell, the oil giant, is facing a boycott of its products by armed forces veterans after it banned poppy appeal collections at its petrol stations.

Veterans will this week discuss organising an embargo in protest at the Anglo-Dutch company’s refusal to allow poppies to be sold on its forecourts.
Shell Retail, which operates more than 1,000 service stations in the UK, imposed the ban because, it says, it already contributes to a number of
Charities, including Macmillan Cancer Relief, the RSPCA and Motability.

‘Scandalous’: Staff at 48 libraries in Derbyshire were ordered to remove collection boxes selling poppies
For decades they dutifully sold poppies without objection.
But then staff at nearly 50 libraries were ordered to remove their collection tins and boxes – in the name of equality.
Officials ruled they could not be seen to support ‘particular charities at the expense of others’.

Royal British Legion members are upset after they were prevented from selling poppies at a police station.
George Hancock, 52, vicechairman of the Basford branch of the Royal British Legion, tried to put a poppy box on the counter at Oxclose Lane police station in Arnold. But he said he was told by a receptionist that new legislation banned him from selling poppies at the station.

Old soldiers hit out yesterday after being banned from selling poppies in a German-owned store.
Members of the Royal British Legion were refused permission to stand inside an Aldi supermarket in the run-up to Remembrance Day.

Villagers are boycotting a pub after its landlady refused to allow a poppy tray on her bar.
Raf serviceman David Marchant claims she told him people could buy their poppies "somewhere else".
But Bernice Walsh, 36, yesterday insisted there was not enough room on her bar for the tray to fit.
Mr Marchant, 77, who is a parish councillor and school governor, said every other business he approached with a collection tray accepted.
He went on: "It has become a talking point that she showed this lack of interest. A lot of people are upset.
"She made it quite clear I couldn't leave the poppies on the bar. I had the tray in my hand to give her."

Channel 4 newsreader Jon Snow has sparked controversy by refusing to wear a Remembrance Day poppy on air in protest at "poppy fascism".

A top fashion store banned a shop assistant from wearing a poppy at work - because it was 'not part of her uniform'.
Harriet Phipps, 18, pinned the poppy to her clothes as a mark of respect to the countless servicemen and women who have been killed or injured fighting for their country.

So what are you going to do about it then?
Are you going to boycott these businesses are you going to write to these companies or phone them and tell them how you feel?
I have already done that and yes I do feel better but that is not the point, unless we employ people power nothing will ever change and change it must.

If people believe the British people went to war for this country so [indigenous] White [British] people can get called a racist for having a [difference] opinion, turning churches into mosques, having limits of freedom of speech through political correctness, ethnic cleansing of their own people( White British) in there own land, and having British values, culture eroding while other nations values and culture flourish.

They must be sick in the head.

What about the RANK HYPOCRISY of Cllrs Alice Robinson and Gwyn Hugheshaving a right old natter during the solemn ceremony at Colwyn Bay's Cenotaph yesterday.
It's all very well weaering a poppy ,and turning up, but surely a few minutes silence from them would not have gone amiss?
