Well said Gambol <applause>

I saw an advert on the BBC for Children in Need last week, which urged women to "be a hero" and be bare-faced (make-up free) for charity.

The fact that they used the term "hero" in this ridiculous manner, just days before Remembrance, almost caused prompted me to write a strongly-worded letter to Points of View.

It's the age we live in, Jip.

Campaigns are won and lost on Facebook with likes/dislikes and heroes are made on YouTube.

Av got a great idea! If I get 20,000 likes on Facebook 3rd World hunger will be solved!

Oh hang on, I can't, my parents refuse to get me the latest iPhone and I refuse to use this crummy older iPhone. I hate my parents! Why are they so awful to me? My life is over!
 
Every time I open my phone on Facebook it has a big advert claiming to beat Ebola with my help and a big thumb image, next to the thumb was a box to click with donate .
They can go f** themselves in Liberia there is way too many Africans and the cull is necessary
 
The Russians didn't go to war with Japan until August 1945, three weeks later it was all over.

Yep. An agreement between the yanks and the ivans was that once Germany was defeated the ivans should concentrate upon the nips.

I have literally never seen anyone do this, anywhere. The only denigration of WW2 sacrifice that I see - on a regular basis - is yours towards Britain.

Spot on.

He referred to the Allies as "****ters" in one of his posts. He thinks we show disrespect to the Russians? <laugh>

It's pretty big talk coming from someone whose country remained neutral during the entire war, blacklisted Irish men who enlisted in the Allied forces as 'traitors' and whose Head of State at the time sent a letter of condolences to Germany after Hitler's death. Not to mention the collaboration between the IRA and the Abwehr.

He's throwing pretty big stones from a pretty fragile glass house with regards to this argument.

As a United Kingdom citizen I also take credit for the valiant effort of people I never met, 40 years before I was born - if it wasn't for their sacrifice there could have been occupying foreign troops pointing guns at me most of my childhood <ok>

At least you have ****ing bins on your transport system.

Thank God that never happened to you in Northern Ireland. It sounds like the British Army did a good job protecting you.

It's not a question of taking credit, Mick. It's a case of showing a modicum of respect for a sacrifice none of us could ever comprehend.

The Nazis made the British troops on the streets of Northern Ireland look like teddybears.

Well, this thread grew legs.

<laugh>

No bins on the tube because of the bomber c**ts.

The ****s nearly got me with a bomb in a bin on the Old Brompton Road in Central London <laugh>

Ok, it went off at the weekend when I was back home in Scotland, but I walked past it every week day at the time.

I still hold a grudge against the cowardly snivelling wee ****s.

They also bombed two other central London streets while I was in town <grr>

Cowards.

Is there anything more despicable than a coward? I think not.

Am no saying I'm any kind of big brave hard guy. I'm not. Am saying I despise cowards.

So did the officers

So they shot them

Unsure if cowards are remembered by poppies
