It's a love-in

On having caught up with recent events in the media, C's comment was:

"What I want to know is how those two are taking it -"

Then she realised what she'd said and stopped short.

I loled.

RL v BNP

Royal Legion vs. the BNP

Whatever you think about the Red Poppy symbol, the suborning of such by Nick Griffin for his own personal interest (I assume to show his 'patriotism' - hah... ) is definitely Not On.

The Poppy is there to support for all British soldiers, not just those who happen to have 'white skin', Mr. Griffin. Over a million men of ethnic groups, from all over the Empire, volunteered in the First World War, almost three million in the Second. And yes, that does include the Gurkhas*.

* Who were never part of the British Empire, interestingly.
