I don't know anything about her other than a few weird middle aged creeps on here are disturbingly obsessed with her nipples. 

 

Utter cvnt is strong language. What's the craic? 

Mainly her faux outrage and personal attacks on Corbyn that, having been fact checked, appear to have been utter shit. That t-shirt episode was borderline criminal. She's a grade A shit-stirrer and a Tory tart. I hear she has a big interview in the BigIssue today which hasn't gone down well - I would read it but i refuse to pay £3 for a pamphlet of adverts.

I still would. I'm a very forgiving person.

Not an unpopular opinion because I don’t really have an opinion on it but possibly an unpopular question. When do we stop with all the extended rememberance stuff. To be clear I don’t mean the stuff at the cenotaph and around the country on rememberance Sunday but the doing it at sports events and the like?

It will only stop when we have to walk around in poppy costumes 356 days a year

It's actually become more of an "event" (ugh) than it used to be when I was young. It's not the solemn two-day commemoration it once was.

 

My unpopular opinion is that I feel like not wearing a poppy these days because of what it's become.

It has been fetishised beyond belief. The elaborate poppies on television like some kind of piety competition and the use of remembrance as some kind of weapon are symptoms.

I get it. 

 

I feel like when I was younger, it was very much a day event. It’s now been very commercialised.

I think it’s been toned down a bit the last couple of year’s.Less is more and making it rememberance month really has devalued the day.devaluing is something this country loves to do.

There should be a two minutes silence on the eleventh at eleven o clock and one on the Sunday.All this minutes silences at sports events can get in the bin.Reserved only for club super legends like Rowley etc.

So you're saying we shouldn't have a minutes applause in the 3rd minute for Geoff who came to watch us 3 times? 

 

Show some humility

 I don’t know why I said I don’t have an opinion. I do, and reading the remembrance display thread reinforced it. Our poppy display today was everything that’s wrong with it, the poppy was supposed to be a token, not a look at ****ing me display. The club looks no more respectful wasting paper for people to hold above their heads for a minute than if everyone stood there in silence without some performance involved. It was nothing to do with remembrance  or respect and solely about look at us for the tv.

Also What’s the point in the managers laying a wreath on the touch line to sit there for a minute.

It’s the older or middle aged supporter that seems to have got behind this daft carry on.Can’t even blame the pesky kids.

The Peter Crouch podcast is awful. It was good when he'd give an insight into being a player but now it's nothing more than daft catchphrases and trying to get minor celebrities repeating them.

 

Chris Stark is such a creepy little weirdo, makes it unlistenable.

I genuinely hope Claudio does well with Watford. He's a really nice guy. He does not deserve the crap he got from some of our "supporters" 

[ozleicester]

Remembrance was almost extinct in the late 70s. Save a real respect,

The 80s/90s reagan thatcher years created "patriotism" and tied it to remembrance. Now just another "hallmark" event, people bragging about remembering whilst acting like nazis

[RumbleFox]

James Bond is a shite franchise. 

[ozleicester]

  movie "franchises" are shit.... in fact all franchises are shit

[leicsmac]

Both "popular" movie franchise fanatics and indie movie fans are snobs in their own way.

 

Here's an idea: just let folks enjoy what they enjoy.

[foxile5]

Remember that pub in the city center that was decorated with silhouettes of struggling soldiers and poppies. 

 

That was weird as ****. Think it was the old Lamp lighters building.

Tbh he is massively respected. I've not met one of our fans that doesn't like him.

 

His second season was shocking. I gave him benefit of the doubt a lot of the time, it wasn't until losing at Millwall which turned it for me. Our performances and results were shocking and any manager would have received the same criticism, and rightly so.

Yep, Remembrance Sunday totally lost to being a right-wing virtue signalling wankathon now, to the point where I just drop a quid in the RBL box and don't take a poppy these days.

Like a lot of things connected to the war it seems to be more for baby boomers who've convinced themselves they lived through WW2 than for ex soldiers themselves.

Indeed. In fact one of the big issues with our country is that everyone over the age of about 55 thinks they fought in WW2.

When they get challenged on it they turn their attention to banging on about still being under rations when they grew up instead.
