Remembrence Day

Teenager arrested over 'burning poppy' Facebook post


Can't begin to describe how many degrees of stupid of this. Disrespectful and dumb, yes. Criminal?

Everyone goes a bit nuts over Remembrance Day and forgets what this freedom the soldiers died for actually means. Part of it is the freedom to say things which make you a twat, especially in a way that affects very few others and is very easily ignored.
 
Neither criminal nor dumb. A valid protest against the hypocrisy of Remembrance Day. Personally, though, I believe in supporting the long-established White Poppy Movement as a valid form of protest instead.
