With the honourable exception of Ken, not one local councillor has had the guts to come on here and condemn this affront.
I don't think they understand quite how hurt and outraged ordinary people are by the action itself and by the fact that no action is being taken against the perpetrators.

Looks like you may be right.
I did nibble the odd petal whilst waiting, bored, but it looks life the rest of blooms are safe.
I don't know what came over me.
Having the cheek to demand that those closet to us in the chain of government, offered a little guidance, and leadership, in the hope that the few wouldn't tarnish the whole. Asking for things...it's akin to bullying. I apologise most humbly to our elected representatives.
Then again, perhaps it was just anger because today's Rememberance Sunday, and the day I see my mum annually broken-hearted and in tears, for the father who never got to hold her in his arms as a baby, or even see her. Him being killed a few months before her birth.
Silly me for thinking that politicans should notice that the electorate are sick and fed up of the silence, that follows outrage, after outrage, carrried out in the name of religion, by evil bigots who primary desire is to curtail the freedoms we enjoy, and our country fought for.
I think if anyone had the gumption, and organised a rally, in little over a week after the poppy burning happened, and brought the community together, in an inter, and no faith demonstration, that things like the Rememberance Day Burn in Hell 'protest', was carried out by a few, and not the many, and 'Not in Our Name', a great deal could have been achieved in helping to heal the wounds these scum have caused.
Nevermind.
At least my freakin' hat still has some life left in it.
