English forces, no. British forces, yes. We both know there is a difference.
Simple indeed.

It should be compulsary for all UK citizens to pay their respects to the war dead by attending a football match.
In Germany, Armistice or Remembrance Day is not commemorated. Moreover, 11 November would be seen as an inappropriate date for such a holiday, as it traditionally marks the beginning of a German carnival. However, Volkstrauertag is commemorated. Originally this was on the fifth Sunday before Easter, but since 1952, has been celebrated two Sundays before the beginning of Advent. It has never been celebrated in the church since both the major German churches have their own festivals for commemorating the dead (All Souls Day in the case of the Roman Catholic Church, Ewigkeitssonntag, or "Eternity Sunday" in the case of the Lutheran church. Both festivals also fall in November.)
These lies and many more like them make it that much easier for the follow follow brigade to justify their hatred.
You're seriously having a laugh, right?
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
You are only so lucky that you get to voice your misguided opinions.
God Save The Queen......I forgot.....do you say NO SURRENDER too? Or is it just Bucky that does that?
we've learned that the Falkirk turnstiles did not start accepting away ticket barcodes until 15 minutes before kick-off.
