I assumed it was going to at least be an Owen Jones or Femi rather than someone I’d never heard of.
Stupid post by someone who is trending trying to score political points. For others to call Captain Tom a ‘PR Tory machine’ is not only wide of the mark but also insensitive. Our country is made by people like Captain Tom and not by some of those who have tweeted utter rubbish.
Is it wide of the mark? They’ll absolutely rinse every last drop out of him if it appeals to the right voters.
Sad people need to make politics out of someone who was not only a war hero but an inspiration to the country whereas there are some who will always knock this country and the people in it. I suggest if they don’t like it here, f22k off to wherever they feel happy instead of using this country?
Is that not what you’re doing?
Femi is onto you.

SNP. It's worse than we thought...
It's all about context though....this picture is over 4 years old for a start. Secondly, during the first IndyRef, the pro-Indy mob Wings Over Scotland ran a campaign with the slogan Bairns, not Bombs as a way to highlight the fact that the obscene amounts being spent on the Trident replacement could be better spent on education. Thirdly, 77 year old Brian Quail managed to stop a convoy of armoured vehicles carrying nuclear warheads travelling through his hometown on the way to Faslane by standing in the middle of the road. At his subsequent court trial supporters used the banner Brians, not Bombs as a play on words of the original slogan.
Amazing how quickly some people can be duped by omitting the true story....
This will be like waving a red rag to those singing 'The Red Flag'...

The irony that some on here and social media take the piss and infer that a woman holding up a sign in support of a man called ‘Brian’ is thick and can’t spell, due to the fact they haven’t actually taken the picture in its context.....really isn’t lost on me.
I guess it’s like a certain poster on here constantly taking the piss out of Dianne Abbots maths cock ups and then not being able to workout a simple percentage equation......priceless

Biden under pressure to boost immigration rights
Immigration was an important battleground between Republicans and Democrats and since Biden's victory, there have been calls for quick reforms.
President Joe Biden's administration has deported hundreds of immigrants in its early days despite his campaign pledge to stop removing most people in the US illegally at the beginning of his term.
A federal judge last week ordered the Biden administration not to enforce a 100-day moratorium on deportations, but the ruling did not require the government to schedule them.

US President Joe Biden's administration has deported hundreds of people in its first days in office despite a campaign pledge to halt most deportations at the beginning of his term.
In recent days, US Immigration and Customs Enforcement has deported immigrants to at least three countries: 15 people to Jamaica on Thursday and 269 people to Guatemala and Honduras on Friday. More deportation flights were scheduled Monday.
It’s unclear how many of those people are considered national security or public safety threats or had recently crossed the border illegally, the priority under new guidance that the Department of Homeland Security issued to enforcement agencies and that took effect Monday.

* Why Biden’s inaugural speech appealed to New Zealanders
Some of the people put on the flights may have been expelled – which is a quicker process than deportation – under a public health order that former President Donald Trump invoked during the coronavirus pandemic and that Biden has kept in place.
In the border city of El Paso, Texas, immigration authorities on Friday deported a woman who witnessed the 2019 massacre at a Walmart that left 22 people dead. She had agreed to be a witness against the gunman and has met with the local district attorney's office, according to her lawyers.

I thought flag waving patriots were all knuckle dragging racist simpletons
Is this where labour sees it's future
They'll all be singing land of hope and glory and telling us what a great past great britain had soon
Isn't that what Labour was before the Liberal Left took control ?
Generally working class and patriotic
I'm relieved to hear that. The SNP has reportedly presided over a decade of decline in children's education, but this would have been ridiculous.
And by you claiming it’s the ‘left’ you’re the one trying to make a political dig at the sad passing of a genuinely inspirational person.
Think we can all agree he was a top bloke, maybe you should have left it at that.
Blimey you came out of your HS2 tunnel quick enough! Actually I was looking at some of the news regarding Captain Tom and came across that yoghurt knitting idiot trying to make a political point so don’t butt in with your usual rubbish. Aren’t Chelsea playing tonight? If so go and watch them and stop trolling my posts.

Come on boys, calm down.
It looked funny.
Thanks for revealing the real story.

I'm afraid it was asking to be taken out of context and no doubt will continue to be.
