So, somebody made an innocent mistake, probably a junior in their first job - yeah, sack them. FFS get over it and get a life.
Absolutely bang on LB, and we rarely agree.
In recent years it seems that people want to be 'seen' to be remembering, rather than actually being genuinely thoughtful about the sacrifices made by others.
I was washing my car this morning when I heard a ships horn at 11am, I carried on washing my car whilst thinking how lucky I was to be able to do so.

Totally this. Social Media this morning was awash with it this morning. I opted for a few minutes quiet reflection rather telling people about it via my Facebook status.

This.
I have rarely observed the two minutes silence. Yet I do not feel that I have no respect for the fallen. When I hear of the sacrifice of those who fought the two wars I am constantly in awe, not just today. I find it a little convenient though that recent conflicts, fought for very questionable reasons, have coincided with almost legalistic instruction to the observation of further platitudes of honour that disguise and undermine any questioning of the reason for such sacrifice.
Now this is something to get even more outraged about.
Absolutely disgusting. What planet do these people who constantly pass these moronic sentences, live on.
It just beggars belief.

I think you missed a bit on the rear passenger door though WQW.
Read this and couldn't believe it.Hopefully,he will launch a successful appeal.
As for the M&S incident,it was a cock-up,so OP get things into some kind of perspective and go easy on the righteous indignation!

With the amount of christmas parties and alcohol consumed at restaurants and bars owned by muslims I think the last people wanting to ban it will be muslims!

[SIZE=+1]I WENT into a public 'ouse to get a pint o' beer,
The publican 'e up an' sez, " We serve no red-coats here."
The girls be'ind the bar they laughed an' giggled fit to die,
I outs into the street again an' to myself sez I:
O it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' " Tommy, go away " ;
But it's " Thank you, Mister Atkins," when the band begins to play
The band begins to play, my boys, the band begins to play,
O it's " Thank you, Mister Atkins," when the band begins to play.
I went into a theatre as sober as could be,
They gave a drunk civilian room, but 'adn't none for me;
They sent me to the gallery or round the music-'alls,
But when it comes to fightin', Lord! they'll shove me in the stalls!
For it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' " Tommy, wait outside ";
But it's " Special train for Atkins " when the trooper's on the tide
The troopship's on the tide, my boys, the troopship's on the tide,
O it's " Special train for Atkins " when the trooper's on the tide.
Yes, makin' mock o' uniforms that guard you while you sleep
Is cheaper than them uniforms, an' they're starvation cheap.
An' hustlin' drunken soldiers when they're goin' large a bit
Is five times better business than paradin' in full kit.
Then it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an` Tommy, 'ow's yer soul? "
But it's " Thin red line of 'eroes " when the drums begin to roll
The drums begin to roll, my boys, the drums begin to roll,
O it's " Thin red line of 'eroes, " when the drums begin to roll.
We aren't no thin red 'eroes, nor we aren't no blackguards too,
But single men in barricks, most remarkable like you;
An' if sometimes our conduck isn't all your fancy paints,
Why, single men in barricks don't grow into plaster saints;
While it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an` Tommy, fall be'ind,"
But it's " Please to walk in front, sir," when there's trouble in the wind
There's trouble in the wind, my boys, there's trouble in the wind,
O it's " Please to walk in front, sir," when there's trouble in the wind.
You talk o' better food for us, an' schools, an' fires, an' all:
We'll wait for extry rations if you treat us rational.
Don't mess about the cook-room slops, but prove it to our face
The Widow's Uniform is not the soldier-man's disgrace.
For it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an` Chuck him out, the brute! "
But it's " Saviour of 'is country " when the guns begin to shoot;
An' it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' anything you please;
An 'Tommy ain't a bloomin' fool - you bet that Tommy sees!

Nice one BensGrandad we should be able to show some respect for a couple of minutes once a year.
Making something of this is insulting to war dead.

Every left winger worth their salt already boycotts M&S due to their links with the Terrorist State Israel. Good to see they are now alienating right wingers too. Hope the sods end up going bust. Their honey roast ham crisps are f***ing lovely, mind.

Over 21,000 football fans at Molineux observed 2 minutes of silence yesterday as an act of remembrance.
Yes, that was good.

I was under the impression that autumn was cancelled and replaced with a three month celebration of Christmas.
