I don’t watch broadcast telly these days so I’ve completely forgotten about all the lesting.
Wear a poppy, don’t wear a poppy, sing or don’t sing, it’s up to you.
Dont see much rage there…
As an aside, I, a Scottish person, don’t know the UK anthem beyond the “God save the queen” bit of it. Maybe he doesn’t know it and doesn’t want to stand there making honking sounds.
I think it’s pretty hypocritical “honouring” the men and women who gave their lives to save us from the fascism so many willingly open their arms to today. That is disrespectful.
Not singing “god save the king” who had direct ties to jimmy savile and Jeffrey Epstein
Where’s the rage in this post?
Who cares? He doesn’t believe in the Monarchy/Union, doesn’t mean he doesn’t respect war dead/serving military. I’m an ex soldier and never have given a toss about any of it either, but never accuse me of not being quietly respectful. Every day not just today I might add.
I wouldnt either. Never have, never will
Why should he?
For a demographic who constantly talk about woke snowflakes, they seem to get offended by quite a lot of stuff
I remember my very Brexity father raging about Jeremy Corbyn doing the same thing. This would be the same man who has refused to join in with singing at weddings, funerals, and even with “Happy Birthday”, for as long as I can remember.
And not a white poppy in sight
Maybe he didn’t know the words. I heard they changed recently.
I don’t really like singing in public
He’s there. He’s wearing a poppy. The song is irrelevant. This kind of divisive shite does no side any favours.
I wouldn’t sing that racist crap or stand up for that wingnut parasite
He’s there to honour fallen soldiers – not a medieval relic that every pretends has any role in society aside from a drama factory for the Daily Mail columnists.
Anyone pushing this non sequitur for political purposes when the service should be about rememberance, are being disrepectful to the people who gave their lives.
I’ve come to a funeral out of respect , I’ve not sung the hymns as I’m not religious and that’s disingenuous- A trait we need much less of in politics if you ask me.
He’s at the service, he’s wearing a poppy. Gies peace
He is being respectful.
If those who die in the military die for anything good, they die defending personal freedom. Freedoms like not being forced to take part in patriotic rituals.
“poppy shaggers” whilst attempting to hold some kind of moral high ground.
Well done.
Who claims to speak for the dead ?
The nation anthem is all about the monarchy, nothing to do with our armed forces or those who have fallen in service to our country . He has every right not to sing ! He wears his poppy and is paying his respects with dignity .
I served but I choose not to sing this depressing drivel .
he’s wearing a poppy and he laid a wreath who gives a fuck
Who cares. I didn’t sing the anthem at the ceremony in brum today. It’s not important.
i paid respect to my ww2 grandfather this morning by having a 2 minute silence and id like to think i silently show respect for soldiers everday given my close friend is an ex soldier. personally i think standing there quietly is more than enough respect and singing the anthem should be a personal choice based on beliefs
Don’t blame him, wouldn’t catch me singing it either
