Listen you, get this straight.
We wear the poppy and have done for decades to recognise and say thank you to those millions of British who fought and died in conflicts since 1914. It is a proud and revered tradition which cuts across all class, religious, racial, gender, sexual boundaries in Britain. Its nothing to do with feeling good.
Wearing the poppy is one of the most solemn and proud acts most British people do. And we do it happily, very happily.
As for the NHS, most Britons support it.
Listen up. This was posted suggesting that we in the States do the same. As if we don’t remember our heroes. A very few of which were in my family. Father and Uncles. All fought.
I resent that. We honor our dead, and we get off our behinds when what they fought ‘for’ is threatened by our own government and we do something about it.
Your saying you like NHS. God help you. But don’t forget to wear your poppy. I’ll take what we do in observance and some fight left in the American people that honors those who sacrificed for our freedom.
