Interesting theory.

a local co-op chemist in accrington banned the wearing of poppies because most of their customers are asian and they get offended by it.

I think its the one near ormerod street.

what asians should remember is that if hitler had won the war asians woldnt be around to complain as he would have wiped them out along with any other group that didnt meet his criteria of been worthy to live

It is an issue this year because it has become a custom only in the past couple of years for football tems to wear poppies woven into their shirts. I never remember teams wearing poppies before that, although things like the two minutes silence were observed.

The FA clearly wanted to extend a very laudable custom to the England team, and came up against the FIFA rule. I don't think it has anything whatsoever to do with the John Terry racist comments, which are being dealt with by the football authorities and police.

I wonder if there's any stupid tarts, the sort that write to Peter Sutcliffe, or murderers on death row, putting pen to paper this very minute.

I'd sincerely like to hope not.

We all remember.

It's difficult for you.

For you it depends on the amount stolen, before deciding whether justice should be served.

Nothing to do with the amount stolen.. and it's not difficult for me to not tag along with morons who want to cut off peoples hands and then be the first to scare us about Shari law being imposed... if you think justice is served by amputation do what you usually do... give us another chance to vote in another of your umpteen polls.:)
