How about our bloody schools show this to all the kids instead of teaching them to be ashamed of their history...
HEAR HEAR
Absolutely right - all the schools are interested in is indoctrinating our children into trans ideology, DEI and climate change - they are a disgrace
I hear you loud and clear on this one, Paul. Teachers should bury their heads in shame and stand up with pride of our history.
No ...Take your kids out of school ...WAKE THE FUCK UP!
Well said 👏
How the veterans are treated is a disgrace
It really is, heartbreaking for what they have endured 😭
Shows you what our own government think of them. They ought to be ashamed. But they will never have to go through it.
And our current weasel politicians piss on their sacrifice every time an illegal immigrant lands on our shores,shame on them.
Most of our politicians don't have any attachment to this country , they align with the countries of there own people
Hell yeah
Yes so true
they might have been born here but they hold allegiance with there own races. im not being rasist its just seems obvious.
100% mate., F them all.
Respect and gratitude to the Fallen.
Absolutely 100% wear it with pride and respect !
I know that if my Grandparents could see what the UK has turned into, they would not have sacrificed so much or fought for our freedom 🙏 🇬🇧
here here
They wouldn't recognise this country anymore.
My dad fought in WW2, he joined up in 1939 aged 19. I KNOW he would still fight for our country, and I'm sure he's looking down, worrying about my 90 year old mum, (who was a child in WW2), and his 3 daughters and son, and he's worrying sick about us. Another guy was running around with a sword in London, and it won't be the last. I'm terrified, and our Gov do absolutely nothing, but let more and more come here every flaming day. Obviously they're a massive threat to us, because they throw away their papers. If they were good people, they wouldn't need to dispose of the papers. When is this horror going to end. It's extremely frightening.
They would..because they were made of better stuff than these ones today…🤷♀️🏴🇬🇧

Since 11/11/23 I have worn a poppy on all my coats and backpack. Even my two Yorkies wear poppies on their harnesses. To me it is a permanent reminder of what these Great Men, Women & Animals did for the freedom of our country and I will continue to wear them every day. Don't just wear them for a day, wear them permanently as a sign that we honour them and will never forget them.
Lost my dog a few year back a greyhound x saluki and without fail I always attached a huge poppy on her collar. I'm one of those that wears it until it falls apart usually in January 😊 respect
That's why I have one permanently on the car. And poppy stickers on my front door.
Well done. 🏴🏴🇬🇧🇬🇧👍👍👍
My 2 house cats have their poppy attached to their collars, I also have my poppy permanently on my car. They were all brave young men and women
Correct. I wear a poppy badge all year round. 🇬🇧🏴❤️
Well said Paul. My grandfather was a prisoner of war. A Black watch sergeant. Stabbed by a bayonet and still fought on. It saved his life. As he was outnumbered. A luger was put to his head by a German private. He closed them and thought of home. Then a German commander who had fought his unit stepped in and took him and the rest of his unit's prisoners.
I'll wear that poppy. Don't EVER question me and my poppies. My Grandad and his 4 sons all went to war.
God bless GB
My grandfather lost his 2 brother's in WW1. I served 10 years, don't ever question my poppy.
Thank you, sir, for your service.
🫡🦘🇦🇺👍
Thank-you for your service
And this is why I’m proud to be BRITISH. We are now in the fight of our lives, the fight for our children’s lives and safe future. I’m a 54 year old mother and grandmother and I will stand and fight
I think our generation, would be the only ones willing to fight Julie. That is a very sad indictment of our country. 😢
I'm 35, and a women and ill stand and fight for my kids freedoms everyday
My grandfather and his younger brother served in the British navy in world War 2 they where irish and proud to wear the poppy, I think it's our time to stand up Ireland England Scotland and Wales enough is enough.
you rule!
100% ❤
as an ex para, seeing this brought me to tears.... after all the losses and struggles these brave soldiers fought for.. our freedoms and liberties.. and look at this nation now.. what has happened to this once proud nation.. its in shambles and the government are allowing invaders into our country and letting them take over... to all my fallen brothers.. my heart belongs to you all
@420ganics . I am proud of you and all your comrades for putting your lives on the line to protect us. My heart goes out to you and to all the fallen. Yes our country is a shambles because we have the wrong people in Government and our children are being brainwashed in school. We played in the streets when we were young and built strong friendships and a sense of loyalty for each other. Kids today (not all of them) are stuck in their rooms on computer games. They are missing out on fostering good relationships with their siblings parents and the wider community. I could go on. I am more interested in you right now I am in my 70s and I want you to know that you are valued and respected for all you have done for us. I Salute You Sir.👏👏👏Thank you.
🫡🦘🇦🇺👍
I am proud of you and all those who lost their lives fighting for our country 🤗💪🏻🏴 god bless you, god bless us all.
Thank you for your service ❤️
Thanks for your service bud, very well said, the silent majority stands with you, we desperately need change now, it’s so much needed now, we love our heritage, we have to turn things around. 🇬🇧
Paul, I’m a veteran that lost 9 colleagues in Iraq in 2003. Four of which were very good friends. I left the Army in 2005 with PTSD. I’m so ashamed of what the UK has become. I’ll never vote for Labour due to their political position and lies re weapons of mass destruction. I’ll never vote labour for their open door policy on immigration. I’ll never vote labour to their absolute trashing of the UK economy in the mid 2000’s. And as for the Conservatives… these people are in my view, grossly negligent on all aspects of UK national security.
I know exactly where my vote is going this year. And I wear a poppy every single day. Without fail. I wear it alongside my veterans badge. I’m immensely proud of being a veteran but my contribution to the service of this country - along with all other service personal is ignored. Yet I’ll always be proud to be a veteran of HM Forces. 🇬🇧
Thank you for posting this.
Thank you and im so sorry you lost so many colleagues in Iraq. Another war that should never have been fought 🤗💪🏻🏴im very proud of you, stay strong
@Stu-Pid861. You have every right to proud of your service & i for one appreciate both you & your colleagues & your service to this country.. I agree with you also that this country & it's indeginous population have been betrayed by goverments of both types.. Thank you & your comrades..
Thank you all for your service
We shall remember them ❤
@@kerrybayton2954 thank you very much indeed. Much appreciated.
@@throughtheeyesofachild61_45 thank you very much indeed. It’s very much appreciated.,
Our poppy's are their hearts ! Bless them all ❤
So well worded 👏👏👏
My wife's auntie who will be 88 this month wears six poppies, one for each member of her family lost in the first and second World War. She wears her poppies all year, and she doesn't care what anyone thinks.
They shall not grow 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
❤🇬🇧
Always remembering my Great Great Grandfather, Arthur Charles Franklin, he was a Rifleman in 1st Battalion King's Royal Rifle Corps. He died 3rd of May 1917, Battle of Arras, Third battle of the Scarpe. 1 of nearly 6000 brave men and boys that died that day. His body was never recovered
Please don’t say that every thing our veterans fought for was all in vain . 🌹🌹🌹
Unfortunately we are at a pivotal moment where what they did may well have been in vain. We must unite and fight to honour what these veterans did for US!
It was, if we don't fight for the country they left us. And at this moment we are letting it happen.
@@jakkernsa We are not letting it happen it’s the government’s off the world .
@phillipcarter8045 Hi Phillip, I agree with you. I used to say they fought in vain, but now I believe that's defeatist talk. We need to stand together and be more positive more than ever. We need to look out for each other. Don't let the powers that be, make us believe we're useless and wrong about everything, or that we're racists. That's all 'old hat' now, and we know it's not true. We're being tested by our leaders, and it's them who are our enemy. I will never back down and agree that I'm a useless, white, real woman. They're evil and it's all being done deliberately. Let's not forget, there are more of us than them. Take care, and stay safe everyone. Peace and love to all (well, most of us eh, 😅😅).
The trouble is most are brainwashed into believing anything the government says, we are a small minority who want to keep our country, but in history, it is always the small minority that have succeeded in winning and waking up the sheeple, we are at a pivotal moment in our history.
Absolutely; most of this generation don’t seem to care, if they even know about the war! So many don’t know what the holocaust is in the true context- it’s disgraceful
They only care about their mobile phones and access to WiFi.
@@lucyallsop88and what gender they are. It’s ridiculous 😡
Gotta keep teaching your kids keep it in their minds i know my dad was really serious about this in our house so we have the respect but i can see people losing it as the generations go on . Shot for cowardice let that sink in thats a very real world
Always wear my poppy necklace with my Christian one, I come from a military family, and my father, uncle and grand parents would be turning in their graves at what these governments have done to our Country. The children and teenagers in University,must be taught about our Heritage, our wars,our Christian faith that were fought for our freedom, instead of woke dangerous cult nonsense. Now we must bring our United Kingdom back to us,and wear our poppies with pride, not just for one day, but always. Put them back on our cars, clothes even in our gardens,houses with our flags. All of us need to be proud of our Country,our fallen military and veterans who have given so much of their lives for our freedom.Respect is also lacking.Education,Governments have failed the younger generation in many ways, and seriously damaged our respect in the world.United Kingdom is our Country and we will defend her against the dark forces that has fallen on her and regain our Respect that has been taken from us and our freedom.🕊️✝️🙏🇬🇧🏴🏴🏴🇮🇪
I always wear a red poppy brooch every year to remember and respect the poor souls that died in two world wars to supposedly protect our freedoms and liberties we have today. Why are people not upholding and protecting those freedoms and allowing anti-british hatred run riot in this country?
My great grandfather died on D-Day (Normandy Landings) in 1944 at 27 years old and left behind a wife and two children; the youngest child had not been born yet.
It still shocks me on how many people in this country do not wear a poppy. It is not much to wear one to remember the war dead. I wear mine with pride and have the highest respect and honour for anyone who has served in our armed forces and the poor souls who went to war.
Your G-grandad was a warrior! Made me cry.
Poppy is part of our british heritage, very powerful paul. Those men fought for our freedom they would be turning in their graves if they could see what had happened to Great Britain. Wear your poppy with pride, and we shall never forget the suffering these brave folk went through, and our children, granchildren must be taught about the wars and history in schools rather than be swept under the carpet by lot of schools. These men & women fought to make Great Britain GREAT !!!!. Now it's up to us to stand up and be counted and do the same for future generations. 🇬🇧🏴👍👍❤️. Thank you, Paul.
To hell with the critics, Paul. I have a poppy badge in my taxi, permanently, I have poppy badges in my golf bag, for all to see and I support the veterans throughout the year. Proud of our history, grateful to our forefathers, proud to be British 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
🫡🦘🇦🇺👍
Not my king .. wearing a black poppy with his advisors telling him he needs to push multi faith Britain .. the red poppy is for every brave soul who sacrificed so much no matter what religion
Not my king
Exactly. Respect for people who sacrificed and fought for us. 🏴🏴🇬🇧🇬🇧
@@stuartmckay7350You can say that all you want, but I think that you will find that King Charles is our King.
To remove the Monarchy, would be enormously expensive and the legal process would take years to go through Court System.
You could say Remove the Monarchy as the fact is that we have a Constitutional Monarchy.
Would you be happy to make thousands of people unemployed, destroy small rural towns and villages and reduce income from tourism?
The Royal connection at Balmoral means that the small town of Ballater, thrives in terms of tourism. This small town would become a ghost town. I would not like to be part of destroying other people's livelihoods and communities. 🏴🏴🇬🇧🇬🇧
Not my King.
@francescarose1453 nonsense everybody has the right to disown a cowardly monarch who chooses to be the defender of a cult that wants to subjugate all christians not just in the U.K. but everywhere in the world, as for people losing their jobs this is a very tired argument, nobody comes to see charles.. They come for the changing of the guard, Buckingham palace, Windsor castle, to see the guards, horse guards parade, the architecture, etc,etc, he is just a hangover from the past.
Well said Paul. It’s a shame that a lot of people just don’t appreciate what our fellow countrymen did on our behalf. We have a history to be proud of & this is what the younger generation should be learning in school. Much respect to you Paul. Thanks mate. 👍👏👏👏
I always wear a little poppy pin, along with my veterans badge. I wear them with pride! 🇬🇧🏴💪
Well said Paul thousands upon thousands Died for our Freedom may they rest in Peace.
Wear that poppy with pride, Son! It means you know and recognise and appreciate what others have done for you. That is the most noble thing you can do today!
Paul, that should be on TV. Thank you, from a veteran.
The way Britain is now I feel for these poor souls who fought for freedom only to see Britain on a downward spiral waste of life my father was one of them 😢
If anyone ever criticised why I wear a poppy, my reply will be a bunch of fives to their jaw.
Good video Paul. Well said. 🫡🇬🇧
I second that. 🇬🇧❤
Love this 🤍
Whatever you think about war, or any particular conflict, you can still show respect to our veterans. Most would have enjoyed the comfortable life they afforded you.
🫡🦘🇦🇺👍
Paul have you considered joining the reform party. We need people like you
I will wear my poppy not only with pride but as a must. Over a million British military personnel died during the first and second world wars, and let’s not forget the 70.000 civilians who were killed. What did they die for ? every Scottish, Welsh, Irish and English who came together and died together. We must always remember and honour every single one of them. It’s our right
In all wars mostly the British working class believed in values ,believed in the mother land , recently young men and women in their teens in their twenties, lives snubbed out ,heartbroken mum and dad's , believed they was fighting for a better ,equal society , what today have we being repaid with .
Respect the poppy our next war is the fight for our freedoms here in our own land 🦋✌️
I'me sure we all condemn all war. But we should all young and old never forget those who lost there lives fighting in these horrid wars.
My grandfather fought in WW1 My father fought in WW2. A boy who my son went to school with died in a conflict since WW2. My partner is in the forces as a life saver (doctor.) I appreciated this Paul. Thank you
I used to belong to the British Legion but most of the committee were old and we had to dismantle it It was such a shame the young people did not want to get involved No sense of PRIDE for their Country
Young British people don't feel that it's their Nation.
If it's 'everyones,' then it's no-ones.
That’s unfair the British Legion never attracted many young people, my father was a member but it was seen as a place for older people, the people who had no sense of pride for this country were the people who kept voting for parties that were selling off our assets to foreigners, what have the young got today, low paid jobs, insecure employment, can’t get mortgages, that’s what they’ve inherited from the baby boomers
I live in Northern Ireland and consider myself Irish,those who know something of Irish history will perhaps understand, I wear the poppy on my coats as a symbol of the huge sacrifices that our forefathers made to safeguard freedom and democracy from tyrants. I am proud as an Irish Catholic to do so and wholeheartedly support the British people's fight to stop the destruction of our collective values.
We haven't always seen eye to eye on a lot of things and yes British government has been underhand at times.
The working classes regardless of if you're in England,Scotland,Wales and Northern Ireland live the same lives,hold the same beliefs and fight to make our families,communities and country stronger.
This betrayal by the politicians,the police and the free rein of Islamic hatred and immigration has to stop.
We need to unite,for separately we will fall to this darkness
Well said Steven!
Welcome to the second Anglo empire 😎👌🏻
God bless you brother
Lots of Irish blood in my family.
Viva Cristo Rey!
Viva La Virgen!
@stevenloughran8911. We need to remember to separate the peoples of England & Ireland from the corrupt & underhand goverments of both.. The problems are caused by goverments & not by the people..
Treacherous
good on all ex & serving service men & women
"I vow to thee my country" always and forever.. I am 65 now, but I would stand up and fight in a heartbeat. Thank you Paul.
My Grandmother’s brother, 19528 Private Thomas Harper, was a private in the 7th Battalion, Duke of Cornwalls Light Infantry. He died 16th September 1916 aged 20 (Somme) Lest we forget.
I wear my poppy with pride.
Those brave men and women. Deserve our remembrance and pride. Stand beside their memory And dont let anyone tell you different. 🥀
i volunteer with veterans have done for 20 plus years , i would not share their stories but i wear my poppy on my arm every day , on my car and on my bags, the poppy is my way of sharing their stories without words. Lest we forget the men and women who stood in bloody battles because they had courage to save those back home ❤ many still do this today so thank you all for your service whether in a uniform or not you are standing for your people ❤
My grandfather served in both world wars in the RN lost his brother on HMS Vanguard. Totally proud of our armed service then and now. Cant do enough for them!
A truly great generation of men. The least we can do is buy a poppy and stand for the minutes silence. God bless them...
I attended my local war memorial on Remembrance Day last year and laid a small wreath. There were only three of us there, plus my dog. Where's the respect for our fallen heroes?
My Grandfather fought At The Somme In the First world War. He was a Horse Sargent. He was blown up Gassed and survived, One British Soldier killed every Four and a Half second. 59,000 Young men some as young as 15 killed before Dinner time, Whole Generations of men wiped out Mostly from South Yorkshire Lancashire and Lincolnshire. I will never forget what My grandfather did for me and the whole Country.
God bless them all that fought hard for our freedoms.
shame on those that threw it away 😢
Love to the uk 🇬🇧
Ireland 🇮🇪
Israel 🇮🇱
What an absolute banger!R.I.P to all the young and old men and women who died for a freedoms today.
My father the day before Dunkirk was out for a pint with 4 of his friends, my father was the only one who came back, he was in charge of an anphianduc the vehicle that transported men to and from the ships, so you can imagine the carnage that he saw, he never talked about the war presumably to many bad memories. My father died in 1993, rest in peace dad ❤❤❤, i still love you XXX.
R I P to all that gave their lives for our and everyone else,'s FREEDOMS .I THANK YOU EACH AND EVERYONE

I doubt if many on here have ever heard of Patrick Pearse
We will remember them.
Upvote please folks
My Father fought for our Freedom along with hundreds of thousands and I am grateful and proud of every last one of them so you are right Paul don’t question our Poppy or our right to speak up it was sorely earned
How many immigrants would stay and fight for this little island and the freedom we've enjoyed for the last 106 year's since the end of world war one. How many would suddenly remember were they came from and bugger off.
Many 'semites' fled from the UK to the USA during the wars 😲
@@geoffasBritish Jews fought for this country in WWI, German Jews were fighting in their Army & Navy. Yes, some wealthy Jews went to America, as did a lot of wealthy British families, as both wars were starting up & who can blame them, but the majority of poor British Jews remained. In WWII, many Jewish children from Europe were sent to Britain for safety by their parents.
I take it you haven't read many books on the Holocaust or seen the film footage taken by the liberating allies, one of whom was my Uncle, he suffered for the rest of his life with dreadful nightmares at what he'd seen & couldn't rid himself of the smell. He saw children's clothing all neatly folded & stacked, boxes of gold teeth, human hair, folded clothing, each item having it's own stack & items made out of human skin, they even made soap out of human fat to send to the Eastern Front, the dead were heaped in huge piles & the emaciated, living dead could barely move. Those Death Camps were nothing more than human processing plants.
Once WWII was over many Jews tried to return to their countries, only to find their homes occupied by the countrymen they once called neighbours & found themselves completely dispossessed. Most Jews had fully assimilated into these countries, even giving themselves & their families Polish, French, Dutch names etc etc, all had integrated well.
They were scapegoats for Hitler & the Nazis, to explain away rampant inflation in Germany & Hitler held them responsible for Germany losing WWI, forgetting the thousands of Jews who died fighting for Germany in that war.
Unimaginable horror. We can't even imagine what those warriors went through. God bless them all. 🇬🇧
I wear my mine 365 days a year RBL and RAFA member
I m a proud forces mum, im proud of our poppy , I respect what it stands for , and I ll never stop wearing it !! We will remember them .
Paul, don't mind those crazy idiots...we hold onto the poppy and the flag until this world ends.🏴🏴🏴🇬🇧
I served 39 years.I wear my metal poppy all the time. The only down side I feel the British Legion could do a great more for the veterans and especially the homeless.
I agree. They sit on millions of pounds and don't use it to help our vets.
@@janemcdonald1261 Please don't use the American term 'vets' (which is where I take my pets). In Anglo-English they are not 'vets', they are ex-service personnel.
Exactly 💯
Lost my Grandad n 2 of my grandads n grandma's siblings in WWII none came home. Lost even more in WW1 Respect n thankyou n sorry for letting or Government let you all down the same government that asked of you to go n defend this country and many others with your lives. I won't even bring up my father's generation and the friends I've lost personally in recent wars. I will no longer fight for this government or any other if I can't defend my own soil from invasion. Respect n Thanks Paul for that kick up the arse we all needed with the video of Harry Patch the Last Tommy. NEVER FORGET it's up to us to make their memory and what the fought for live on in the following generations.
I will never forget their courage and their bravery, God bless our boys, girls and animals who have fought and died for the freedoms we have today.
The last time that I bought a poppy the young cadets selling them were not allowed to remove the straight pin off of the card for health and safety- what a difference .
So well said and such a powerful reminder of all the hero’s who died for the freedom of each and every one of us. It must have been a living hell for them and their families back home. Forever grateful for their sacrifice ❤❤❤
We should wear them all year round; one week isn't enough to pay adequate respect, thanks for the vid 😎👍
I wear mine all year round with great pride ❤️
I am very proud as I have in my Granddads medal collection also his " Mons Star " - 3rd Kings own Hussars
Very powerful post. Thank you. My husband is a veteran and he served in Bosnia and Iraq. He never talks about it but I think neither does any of his fellow veterans. He has just been diagnosed with PTSD. But at least I have him here, he may be broken but other wives are not so lucky. I thank god for that.🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧❤️❤️❤️
My grandfather was in those trenches his brother was sent to Palestine, where he died. I remember my brother and I innocently sitting on, grandpa's lap, blissfully unaware of the hell he had suffered. My grandmother left his old pocket watch hanging on a little hook next to his chair after he died. Sometimes, we would walk into the "front kitchen to find the watch swinging for no good reason. That was a long time ago. As I tell my grandchildren, " we are all here because our ancestors were the ones who, survived".
Respect to the British and ANZAC warriors of WW1. Sacrificing so much for what we have today.
I have pin badges that I never take off. These people stood up for our future. Bless them all ❤❤ This reminded me of only fools and horses when granddad said "they promised homes fit for soldiers, all we got was soldiers fit for homes". This hit hard and I'll never forget that quote. God bless them all and all the young men and women who serve today ❤❤
I lived I’m a Home fit for Hero’s from when I was three years old in Meanwood. Leeds, West Yorkshire. The Community spirit was wonderful but they’ve all been pulled down now and the community spirit was destroyed along with the houses.
@@yvonnejohnson1004 yeah none of that anymore and it's really sad. My dad worked for a company this is in the 80s the firm had its own pub rugby team people had purpose, a sense of belonging.Life seemed easy then but I was a kid. I wish it was like that for the next generation but no it all changed for the worse.
Thank you for the presentation, I was outraged by the actions of some on Armistice day last November. The lack of respect was outrageous so much, so I am wearing my poppy all year to remember those who gave the ultimate sacrifice, lest we forget.
Thank you Paul. If we are to save this country then that needs to be a public information film showing on every media. Lest we forget and do it again...
Well said Paul...as an ex soldier that video brought a tear to my eye..those poor lads going over the top, many to their end...may they forever RIP and never be forgotten🙏🌹
Do not question our Poppy..not now, not ever..
well said Paul, well said, have nothing more to add, apart from i'm an ex-servicemen, 16 years RN/RFA !! x⚓️
Well said Paul I hope the person(s) questioning the poppy watch this and apologies personally to you
By chance I was listening
to Mademoiselle from Armentières last night. You might forget the gas and shells but you never forget the mademoiselles. What courage these men had to laugh in the face of danger.
Well said. We owe them everything.
Best video you have ever made Paul. Nice one Mate! We shall never stand alone.
Beautiful and moving video, Paul. I wear my poppy badge on my jacket every day, not just November. Never forget our brave young heroes
Unfortunately Paul we live in a very selfish society. People don't care or respect anything or anyone. Great video. Well done
Too true dean people are all for themselves nowadays, i bet those brave soldiers would be horrified if they could see what they layed their lives down for today.
My great uncle Albert Edward Purseglove fought in the battle of Ctesiphon in WW1 he was dreadfully wounded but saved many lives of his fellow soldiers and was awarded the DCM. He was made to march to Mesopotamia (now Iraq) where he died as a POW on the 3rd February 1917. My father named after him fought in WW2 against the Japanese in Burma,he returned with many scars,but never spoke of his actions. Paul we must always remember these brave souls that gave their lives in many cases so we can enjoy what we have today….ALWAYS wear your poppy with pride 🇬🇧
👏👏🙏 😢 God bless you for such a heart felt fim sharing why our poppy is sooo important to us all. We should NOT ever be asked or forced to kill or be killed ever again.
I where mine too remember those who gave their lives for you... I where mine too remember the friends I have lost from NI too Afghanistan. I where it as a reminder too others that better Men and women than them are nolonger here..I where mine in honour of the hero's I look forward too proundly standing side by side with again one day soon.
More than a million young British men (and the resulting families that would have been) sent to their deaths just so France wasn't humiliated like they were 24 years prior. Given the state of the country now there's no way they'd have volunteered and gone to war like they did.
When are people going to realise all wars are instigated by the bankers. They back both sides and humanity suffers. Just look how servicemen are treated. Shit wages and left on scrap heap after being traumatised.
Ahhh yes,the self-righteous French with their colonies in West Africa.
Well said
I wholeheartedly support the Remembrance of the Fallen. I do however question the financial standing of the RBL. It has about £400 Million in assets and investments. Makes about £50 Million a year. I've met homeless vets. Rather than buy a Poppy I give them a couple of quid and donate to Help for Heroes.
They're not 'vets'. they are ex-service personnel. I despise the creeping Americanisation of the Anglo-English language.
My grandad Sam made it through bless him
I wear a poppy every day. and am proud of it. know1 will tell me any different they can shove their comments where the sun dont shine. i wear with pride for the fallen of this country who fought for our freedoms total respect. ashamed of our government that is unravelling it all 😢
Bring back national service, teach the broken kids respect, skills, manners and pride for our country.

That memorable scene at the end of Blackadder where the battle field turns to a poppy field also is a reminder of the significance of the poppy and the value of our brave soldiers who gave their lives
Hello Paul top man
Mate great shows
This had me in tears this morning. I am so sick of what's happening to us.
For what they gave for our freedom, as this man stated that if you didn’t go over the wall you were shot on site for cowardice, this generation of cowards will never see or experience what these hero’s real men had to fight for freedom. The poppy is a symbol of faith, courage, strength, patriotism, heroism, steadfastness, Britishness, 2 world wars men of fighting age with armour of God fighting for our freedoms, our very existence of life given to us through their courage. I was at St Pancreas (King’s Cross) in November last year 2023 and seeing military men in uniform it made me feel so proud, I bought 2 beautiful metal poppies one for me and one for my wife, we wear them with pride, and will always remember what our fallen soldiers gave for us. We will always remember. Lest we forget. 💪💪💪💪💪💪🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🏴🏴🏴🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧💯💯💯💯
As a British Army Veteran, I thank you Sir for your remembrance.
"We will remember them" 🇬🇧
Proud to say 28 years I served my Queen and Country , and now at 83 years, I would defend my corner. I vow to this my Country. .Lest we Forget.
Keep on wearing that love the poppy my family servicemen … xx
Remember Starmer removed his to tell us about Islamophobia.
Disgusting, he should be ashamed 😤
Anyone with normal thinking keep away from him and his anti British party
Exactly Susan!I hope people remember that!on Election day!how anyone in they're right mind,can even concider!voting Labour or the so called Conservatives!is behond me!
As a kid in London in the 50’s I didn’t know ANY family that hadn’t lost at least 1 loved one to war. We wear a poppy with pride but I wouldn’t be happy if any of my family wanted to fight for any government now, they are traitors
I'm an ex serviceman and the only time. I asked the British legion for help was for my brother. In-law who had died and was a falklands veteran. They wouldn't help not one penny did they spend out they just gave advice to go to a citizens advice .. The Legion are now a Ltd. company with ridiculous levels of pay for their management and huge financial reserves . I now hate them .
@xfire,I've worked for the RBL and what you say is absolutely true.I understand how you feel.
Thank you Paul. 🇬🇧🥀
