Saw the last surviving soldier on TV this morning he is 105 years old still exercises with weights & walks for 1 hour every afternoon, once he's gone you know what's going to happen, there will be no need for poppies anymore as it will be found offensive by the growing number of bastards that are being allowed to take over our country & our customs. I'm so very angry and have never felt like this before in my life.
I walked past the local school this afternoon at kicking out time and none of the kids I saw were wearing poppies.
Unless, God forbid, there is another major war where tens of thousands are killed in action, I think it is a tradition that will slowly and sadly die out as the Second World War fades from living memory.
The ceremonies on Armistice Day and Remembrance Sunday will continue no doubt, but generally I don't think people will be interested. :'(
