You do realise that will end up on the Caption Contest thread?

I don't care. I just wanted to disrespect the war dead by posting it on this thread.

[quote="Tubby Isaacs"]Ah, sorry.

Happy to let you know what I look like. Or did 3 years ago.

I'm in love.
Tubby please say that you will be mine forever.

Seriously though Tubster, I'd advise against posting your picture on here mate. Take it down right now mucker.

It's a very flattering photo.

Yeah fucking hilarious. Now get rid of the image you fucking idiot.
There are people who would happily slash you from ear to ear viewing that pic.

Done it.

I'd take a bit of recognising, but you're right. And of course, someone else might get mistaken for me.

Thanks for the offers - we may well need some help. but may be able to do it all from one pub! I'm stricken with bronchitis at the moment, will sort something out this winter. If the cross is 5 feet above ground, how much will be below - is it a third of the visible height? Anyone know?

Des Kelly has a good article on the way the poppy's real meaning and how it's been used in crass one upmanship.

Right, it's the 12th now, so how long do we think it will take for all this to wind down? (Goodness knows why, but something is telling me that a few papers still have some poppy stories in them waiting to get out).

You know, I sometimes think the Daily Mail sports writers should replace the Rightminds crew. That's a more measured and rational article than you'll find anywhere in Rightminds.

Incidentally, I'm watching the football now, and I can see the advertising boards flashing up poppies followed by Vauxhall and Umbro logos. Classy.

I saw an aggro woman with a face like a smacked arse defiantly barging her way through Sainsburys, glowering at people who dared to not be white. Yep, she had a poppy on. I thought you didn't wear them after the 11th?

Also I was on a bus yesterday when a a man with a beetroot red face and a poppy got on and sat behind me. A couple with a buggy, who I took to be perhaps Romanian, got on and he started mumbling to himself. Mumbling alarming stuff, lots ofr incoherent waffle and then the odd word I could make out. "Fucking muslims! mutter, mutter, nuclear bomb! mutter, mutter, fucking bastards! mutter mutter, pulverize, pulverize! mutter, mutter, etc." He was perhaps in the fringes of dementia but with it enough to know who he wanted dead, painfully and right now, but not so with it that he remembered to keep all of this in his head. As I sat there wondering why he sat right behind me on an empty bus a well known local nutter got on and sat right in front of me, a gargantuan man who opened his local paper and chanted, "Big Jugs! Big Jugs!" at the property pages. No poppy though.

Following on from Tubby and oboogie and the photo, I d heard of redwatch but knew nothing about it so I've just had a look at the site, jesus, its scary!!

These people really are crazies, do you think that they come trolling on here to find lefties to attack? I mean im not an activist in any way shape or form, ive never been a member of any party of any kind, all I do is moan to anyone who will listen (most dont) about capitalism and fat cats.

I admire and respect people who do take a stand

No. I think you really have to go out of your way to draw the attention of Redwatch.

I've been a member of the Labour Party, and a pretty active one at that, for about 30 years and I've had no bother from Redwatch.

I so still wonder about that fine Boxing Day morning about 6 years ago when I discovered that some fucker had stabbed all 4 tyres on my car, mind.

I had my name taken by the National Front as a dangerous leftie.
But some trade unionists have been targeted as a result of Redwatch, and the EDL are reported to have attacked Unison in Liverpool today. It's not a completely empty threat, but given that there are some very firm identification of who is behind Redwatch it's amazing that no police action has been taken...
