Scottish nationalism in all its resplendent shame. 

How EXACTLY is it connected to Scottish Nationalism???

There have been objections to Poppys for decades!!!  Please do NOT try to make Poppy commemorations about Political allegiances or differences.

 

Whether you agree with Poppy wearing or not, this is an act of utter disrespect to ALL soldiers that have fought & died in wars across the world & paid the ultimate cost.  A shameful act.

The 'Antifa' chaps seem very opposed to freedom of speech.  Which is also a popular policy amongst fascists.  

 

It's a bit like Stalin and Hitler.  When you get extreme left or extreme right enough, it all becomes much of a muchness.

It's not rocket science.

 

The emergence of the most extreme far right politicans and visual movements I've seen in my lifetime are bringing with it a degree of facisim and given current circumstances, the very real threat of leaving it's mark on history in a very ugly way. (I think the forseeable is going to be 'ugly' regardless, it's just a matter of how ugly).

 

The vocal opposition to this are basically floundering and too often shout what are empty insults that don't appreciate the way the game they are in is set-up and in reality, they only make worse the situation.

 

The common denominator in so many things applies here as well. The root problems that come from the political systems that no longer serve the majority of the people. What has come from this has given opportunists (in this case the far-right who are very well organised and backed) a way-in. Now it's a positve that there is a 'way-in' but thereafter it depends on what happens when they establish power or have more influence.

What evidence is there linking the incident to Scottish Nationalism???

 

The Poppy does NOT represent the Union, Britain, Scotland, Tory, Labour, SNP, Black, White, protestant, catholic, jew, hindu, tall, small, fat or skinny.  It represents ALL those who gave their lives in war.

 

If you feel that you must link it to your political viewpoint then that is YOUR problem.
