Wonder which demographic forms the core business there.
When respecting the dead loops back around to disrespecting them by making it all about you.
That’s a bit eccentric but not distasteful.
However Given the typical weather we get this time of the year, I just hope all that stuff on the roof is bolted down and secured.
I mean, who wants to be killed by a falling cenotaph?
I say fair play to them.
Anyone else get the feeling that Rememberance day has become less and less about remembering the Horrors or war and more and more about supporting the troops.
Some people just need to show they are remembrancing more than others. Just remember in your own way and let them do what they want.
Almost always done by those who never came close to serving.
Virtue signalling poppy fascists
They’re making fake Cenotaph decorations now, blimey. Coming to a front garden near you!
I wonder if/how the other places near by will try to 1up them, gotta be as flashy as you can to remember the fallen these days.
Wait, what is it we’re trying not to forget? I forgor 💀
Lest we forget? Not very fucking likely these days.
It’s this sort of stuff is why i don’t attend Remembrance Day events, well not since 2018, its seems more about getting a flag out these days, than actual respectful rememberence.
The absolute classist contempt on display here.
Never change r/uk…
This whole period is so cringe. I hate it. Remembering is not a thing anymore, it’s all about “me me me.” Everyone trying to outdo each other with their diamond encruster poppies and, well this photo. lol.
Virtue signalling
Look, remembrance day is one of the few things British people can support without having it being jeared at so don’t be surprised at how important it’s got.
Fucking hell, I know exactly where this is. Why is it my local area only ever makes it to Reddit for cringey reasons?
Is this next to Freeport?
Drive past it every now and then and my wife and I always wonder if anyone has ever actually been in it. Always looks shut/windows boarded up or curtains drawn and I’ve never seen a single person go in or out.
Just checked them on Facebook and every single photo is of the place entirely empty. Very odd.
There’s even a cenotaph on the roof.
This is the most American shit and the fact it’s about remembrance is sickening.
“do u even poppy bruv”
It’s too fucking much. Less about quiet respect and more about celebration.
Rather tacky, IMO.
At some point Remembrance Sunday stopped being a solemn occasion and became a celebration of the military and you’re labelled unpatriotic for pointing that out.
A house near where I grew up has a full trench set up on the drive way, sandbags and even a dummy machine gun placement. What purpose does this serve?
Edit – I should point out there are still many of us who do treat it as the solemn occasion that it should be. There are some amazing veterans I speak to quietly doing their thing selling poppies outside of the shop. These big grotesque things like the image at the top serve only the people who build them and nobody else.
I’m a veteran and the politicising of the poppy over the years is really fucking distasteful. Wearing a poppy is a choice. The reasons to wear it being many. No one should be forced to wear one. No one should be shamed for not wearing one. Same as you shouldn’t be shamed for wearing one.
The whole point of the poppy is remeberance. Whether it is to remember someone specific. Whether it’s to remember a specific conflict like WW1 or WW2. Whether just to remember war is futile and a fucking waste of money and lives. Whatever the reason it’s not political.
It shouldn’t be weaponised. It isn’t a political symbol. You can be anti war and wear one. The meaning of the poppy is being lost and it’s now becoming a very polarising symbol when in reality it should be used for one thing and one thing only. Remembering. War is fucking stupid and rarely is it ever for something worthwhile. Mostly because of fictional people in the sky and some melanin in the skin. It’s all utterly fucking moronic.
How much remembrance is too much remembrance?
There’s a weird amount of snobbery and classism in these comments. I don’t agree with shaming people who don’t wear poppies – participating in any way should be entirely voluntary. But it doesn’t look like this person is shaming anyone. If they want to kit their house out like this, it’s not harming anyone, so fair play to them. Their reasons for going to this much trouble don’t really need to be anyone’s business.
I hate how the word “lest” is only ever used at this time of year and in this context. Likewise “legal tender” whenever trying to use a Scottish banknote down South.
They show war on BT sports now eh?
The poppy has become an idol that some people feel the need to worship, it’s honestly so weird
It’s a flat roofed pub what do you expect?
A flat roof pub with prominent displays of ‘Britishness’
I’m sure it’s lovely and welcoming.
What a respectful building.
The poppy is used as a political symbol here in northern Ireland.
The poppy commemorates those who died in all conflicts.
This is why the nationalist community cannot identify with it.
But look how flat that roof is.
You just know that there’s 8 taps at the bar and it’s all Carling.
It’s not us who forget, were not the problem it’s all the other nutter you have to remind Putin and the like…
It’s a typical flat roof pub updated for the nouveau affluent, coke snorting, Turkey teeth, lip balloon, van driving and nail salon owning demographic.
Someone parked a tank outside a rangers pub a couple years ago.
They REALLY go all out on the blue side of galsgow.
Employees: How much remembrance do you want?
Owner: yes
Never forget their sacrifice…. ALSO PUB SKITTLES AND BT SPORT…. just like the Somme
It’s interesting that the 11th was always Armistice day, literally the day the greatest war (at that time) ended, so armistice day generally was about not only remembering fallen troops but also giving thanks that that was the day the war ended.
Seems apt for a march to protest about a war and death of innocent civilians should happen on the same day.
Woah he’s the most remberenced. And with BT Sport no less! Amazing.
Foreva in are arts
I am veteran…..I want to forget 11 November ( personal reasons) but cannot. I will remember all who gave their life’s service personnel and civilians and despite certain groups this year I will remember all those murdered on 07-10-23 and hoping for the safe return of the hostages
