Rochelle seems like she's understanding what Omar is trying to tell her. Then she says, "This generation are all snowflakes, you can't say anything these days." ๐

I was stuck on a bus in Edinburghโs Princeโs St for 30 minutes due to a traffic jam caused by Sadiq Khanโs pedestrianisation of Oxford Street.
He MUST admit his mistake and stop this anti-car madness
But if these #LGBTQIA Football flags, etc, raise extra money, then why not. It's not hurting anyone & may just get someone who may not normally buy one to buy one. #Poppy#RemembranceSunday#ThisMorning
I donโt want to post the video. Youโve all seen it. But I do want to write a love letterโฆ
Dear everyone in Britain, ( even you illegals)
Just so you understand. The poppy is for the boys who never got to grow old. For the boys who were still somebodyโs baby, brother, uncle or father. More than 600,000 of them.
It doesnโt matter if you support war, hate your country, think you are a woman (even though you are a man). It doesnโt matter which God you pray to, or if you pray to none at all.
It doesnโt matter who you vote for, what climate narrative you believe, or whether you believe Israel should exist or not!
The poppy isnโt for you!
Itโs for those who came before. Those who fought for your right to be weird, annoying or even foreign.
The poppy is how we say thank you. Thank you for giving us time, peace and choice.
And attempting to ban our poppy by declaring it politically divisive isnโt a move towards freedom. It is an act of suppression. Understand that.
The poppy is about love and loss. For you!
So stick your rainbow flags and every other flag where the sun doesnโt shine and just wear your poppy. Those boys did not die as symbols. They died for you!
Did you know that poppies grew across the battlefields where so many fell? As though even the land refused to forget the blood once given to defend it.
So the poppy is for them. For those who came before us and paid in youth, in hope, in breath, in blood, so that we might have the freedom to be arseholes.
So that we might even have the freedom to fight over the ridiculous, the inconsequential and the insane.
Revere it, celebrate it and wear it. The very least you can do is that.
Best
The ordinary people.
@Artemisfornow But if these #LGBTQIA + Football flags etc, raise extra money, then why not. It's not hurting anyone & may just get someone who may not normally buy one, to buy one.
@SimonHarrisMBD I feel it's a good move by RBL. By selling this, they are potentially selling more & raising more money for their charity. Inclusion doesn't hurt anyone & it'll have a positive financial effect.
@King0243_PJC In recent years, we have learnt a lot about how the media/press works. Sadly, I fear we're a little desensitised by it now. I find myself "saying yeah that's probably true."
