I respect the soldiers that fought in WW1 and WW2 however I do not respect these “Heroes” that are remembered from the illegal wars in Iraq,Ireland and any others. The poppy has been hijacked from it’s proper purpose of remembering the true heroes in order to remember terrorists for example in Ireland the killing of an honest teenager aidan mcanespie by british soldiers and It was not an accident because he was threatened on a number of ocassions
example no.2 90% of deaths in Iraq every year are innocent Iraqi civilians that the true terrorists have just gone in and thrown their weight around
so before you call me disrespectful how about you do a bit of research and learn how disrespectful your being by worshipping these terrorists as “heroes”

tigerrrrrrrrr – you are a spineless ******.
I suppose you support the Taliban, Al-Qaeda, PIRA and anybody else that refuses to let people lead a democratic existence.
I bet its not only poppies you shove up your arse.

The Poppy is a sign of respect to everybody that is lost in conflicts. Not just the ones people find it funny to disrespect.

Disgusting,Why don’t Man U put the poppy on the crappy black sash on their shirt if they don’t think it will show. As for Liverpool just look at Arsenals shirt, the poppy shows up fine with the white outline. There is no excuse for this just plain arrogance.

Some of you people make me sick to my stomach! you worthless drivalling scum with your pathetic comments about being forced to support the poppy appeal. My grandfather was Irish & he fought in Africa during WW2. You call yourselves men & you hide behind the freedom that these real men suffered & gave their lives for. The Royal British Legion is British in name only, they support all of the brave soldiers from as far afield as India & Nepal who answered the call when the world needed them. These men often didn’t have a choice in weather they went to war, but most would have gone if they did, why? because they had honour, the type of honour that your sickening cowards could never understand. If you think for even one second that you have a choice weather to support them then don’t, just slither away to your homes, the homes that sit under the freedom that they provided. As for Man U & LFC, where is the profit in it for them? That’s the question that we should be asking.
Alex, that is a very nice poem, it’s nice to see from many of the comments that there are still some decent people in this country.

Mark, you should read a bit of history before making stupid comments about bloody sunday, you know nothing about it and should shut up!! It wasn’t an IRA march it was a civil rights march were protesters were murdered and then this was covered up by the British Army. Why do you think it has taken so long for the report to be published, by the way it is still pending!!
As for the poppy, is being forced to wear one the same as voluntarily wearing one?? No. Read the guardian which has a good article on poppy facism.

Brian NI is’nt in Britain, look at a British passport. But you certainly are’nt English LFC and MANUTD are. I’m not sure about popies on football shirts but what the Irish think is not a consideration Liam J.C says he does not care what make him think his opinion matters in Liverpool or Manchester
