Poppy Poop

These are the people who "support the troops." That's right, people who like baby-killers are shallow, superficial & generally awful people w/o the slightest understanding of anything, political, military or otherwise. But they're very brave on Twitter when a news reader is spotted not wearing a fucking poppy on Remembrance Day. Surprised? Wish we could be, but the awful among the English-speaking peoples isn't limited to 'Murkins & Aussies.
The abuse directed at her on Twitter included racist jibes that her family would not have been able to settle in Britain but for the deaths of soldiers. "Without all those fallen soldiers, Hitler would've taken over Britain and your family would never have been allowed here...," user @alhaurincraig wrote. Another crudely superimposed a picture of a poppy on to an image of the presenter with a banner saying 'Sack the Slag'.

White said the racist and sexist abuse acted against all of the goals that the fallen soldiers had fought for. "The messages of "go back to where you came from" have been interesting to read, as have the 'fat slag' comments, and the repeated use of the phrase 'black cunt'," she said. "Mostly because it flies in the face of everything that millions of British men and women and those in the Commonwealth have fought for for generations, and continue to fight for: the right to choose, and the right of freedom of speech and expression."

Google has also been the subject of criticism because it used only a small Remembrance Day poppy on its website. Labour MP Gerry Sutcliffe said it was "demeaning not to have something spectacular".
And could the entire fucking planet agree not to give a damn about what & how Google chooses to celebrate any particular day w/ it's stupid doodle? Jesus, Gerry Sutcliffe, you whining bitch, if you don't like what they've done stop bitching at us; buy some Google stock & see if they let you bitch & moan about your sad & petty concerns at the next stockholders' meeting. In the meantime keep your mouth the fuck shut.

Y'know, maybe there doesn't always need to be an England.
