asperity Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 Sounds like a lot of faux outrage to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt Kije Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 If it was a Labour rose you would not be saying that Asp, I think it is wrong for any Political party to try to exploit Rememberance Day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizzy Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 If they wanted to show it was from them then they could just have had a tiny weeny little logo on their attached card. Their large centre piece to the wreath is totally distasteful, disrespectful and should have been removed straight away IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asperity Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 There you go again putting words in my mouth Lt Kije. If you read the article the British Legion which made the wreath say that they make wreaths with the logos of ALL the political parties on. Like I said - faux outrage by the other parties to try and make political capital. I am not a supporter of UKIP or any political party unlike some people on here who make no secret of their political allegiance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 Yet more "offence" for the PC crowd, who spend their lives "being offended". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 I think it was the 'in your face' colours and logo that rattled me when I saw it. Maybe if political parties have to have their party logo on them they should be made to drop their party colours. It doesn't seem quite as bad when you take the colour off.

asperity Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 Maybe politicians should be banned from Armistice Day ceremonies altogether, only being there in their private capacity instead of grandstanding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
