Seems strange that you’d think I have an issue with fallen soldiers from that comment, as if you were trying to make a suggestion that was never there.
I not saying anything you mentioned after a quote by Watford
Starmer is evidently going to need a bigger flag.
a tattoo of a fallen soldier and a pint in his hand, if he only had a history of bigoted comments though
Your post fella not mine. From that, it is pretty obvious what you are saying. If not please explain.
 
Not sure why he's so anti-SNP, but there's a few quotes amongst this...

https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/politics/firebrand-galloway-says-sole-aim-22416482

That article was nearly a year ago and if anything, I would say his open hatred of the SNP has become even more prominent in his writings and tweets. He’s made no secret of his hatred of the party and his dislike of Sturgeon.....as well as the fact that him and Salmond were, and are, good mates.
I’ve gotta be honest, I’ve warmed to GG in the last few months...he speaks from the heart and I agree with a lot of what he says (not all though I’m sure). And when it’s rolled out that he met Sadaam and praised him ? Well at least he was being honest and doing it in front of the cameras.....better than our government who were meeting him in secret and selling him bombs and gas ‘cos he was using them against Iran.
Same goes for Corbyn meeting the IRA.......at least he was upfront about it

You implied I had an issue with fallen soldiers, I have confirmed that is not the case and that my post did not suggest I did.

To suggest Starmer might gain popularity by getting a tattoo of fallen soldiers does not in any way suggest I have an issue with fallen soldiers.

Hope that clears it up for you
 
I think I used whingeing. Are you saying I used that because I heard or read it in the media? I don't believe a lot of what Meghan said. I think she was lying and it's easy to get everyone on your side by saying - I wanted to kill myself. And what did Harry do? Nothing. What did she do? Did she see her private physician? No. Did she attend Harley Street to see a psychiatrist? No. What did she do then? She went to the Palace's HR department. What?

Feel like this belongs in the royals thread - i only watched maybe the first 30 mins and last 10 mins but i didn't quite buy the taking protection away from Archie stuff.

With respect to the lack of mental help wasn't that the whole point of it? the royal institution basically confirmed everything they did in their lives and their schedules and who they could and could not see. So they are the first port of call for everything and chose to do nothing? That's the way i see/read it

Maybe you were talking about the same soldier that lives in Ellers head....surely you’re allowed to have an issue with someone who doesn’t exist ?

I don't think there was ever a question that the Palace would prevent a doctor or a psychiatrist visiting Meghan discreetly at Frogmore Cottages. And anyway, there was nothing to stop Harry organising for her. And Meghan also said she had only left her home once in four months. I just don't believe that. They've told a pack of lies relying on the fact that the Palace will not respond. I hope to God the Palace does respond with hard, provable facts.

Not really as it comes across as a bit disrespectful to voters and fallen soldiers. I am actually sadden you got a 'like' for your post but then again when you see who liked it.... :eek::eek:
In the context of the post you mentioned 'fallen soldiers' why? please explain the relevance, rather than you just saying you don't have a problem. Sorry, but it's not a good look. Our brave armed forces give up their lives so wasters can deface statues in Whitehall that commemorates then. As I have said before I have lost 2 relatives and a lifelong friend of my partners and I find it disrespectful to try and make a cheap quip at their expense.
As Watford would be saying 'own it' rather than try worm out of it.

As a foot note
I would rather have a tattoo of a fallen soldier than some anti capitalist idiot who turns up to protesters in designer gear who then thinks is cool to smash up a MacDonalds only to walk to Waterloo and buy a Burger King. you know the type the ones who got lectured by a multi millionaire who then leaves in a rolls and on to a private helicopter.
Or
Some extinction rebellion idiot who pulls up hundreds of plants and erects them on Waterloo bridge while handing out laminate flyers. Then tries to lecture me about the climate while his mate spray paints the bridge. All this while waiting for some luvvies to fly in from LA first class because its this weeks colour orange. Or maybe witness (like I did) how these charming protestors spat in police officers face and insulted their families.
So just have a little respect for those who can't defend themselves anymore when you try to sound smart.

My hero.....all fallen soldiers, real or imaginary salute you x

NB You really must stop making up stories about stuff Ellers....you’re coming across as slightly strange

Nicholas Whitchall said yesterday that Meghan hand picked her team at the Palace. An Australian woman and an American. He was surprised to hear those comments. I also heard from a royal correspondent that Meghan didn't actually hear those remarks about the colour of the baby and that Harry told her. The correspondent said he was confused by her timeline. Today her Father said she has 'ghosted both sides of her family'. She has no contact with any of them.
There was a report last night that a palace statement was ready to be released but the Queen decided not to let it go out and that she will deal with this.

Cry me a ****ing river!
 
The like police are on patrol again.
it's a shame we don't have 'respect' police. As for 'likes' if I like a post I will like it no matter who they are. Sadly we just a few sheep that a part of a 'cliquey group', who only like their own :emoticon-0119-puke: As it happens Watford, for all your rubbish, you know where to draw the line.

Talks of respect and in the same paragraph tells Watford he talks rubbish. <doh>
