FIFA fine home nations for Poppy displays

Free speech was never going to be stopped because the British Army were involved in Ireland, Iran, the Falklands and Afghanistan. You are pulling out one meaningless soundbite after another which proves you are just another mindless drone who loves war as long as they dont have to fight one.

Fancy the British Army being involved in the Falklands and Northern Ireland, it's not like it's British sovereign territory or anything, get over yourself bog rhat, stick to re-fuelling kraut subs and bombing innocent people.

Not arguing for or against the merits of the British Army intervening on its sovereign soil, on this thread. Just that they were 100% purely political conflicts and that poppy commemorations of them have a political dimension to them. If it wasnt for the politicians need to keep these two territories under UK rule, there would have been no conflict or casualties.

So the British Army ended up in Northern Ireland why, which community was it again who begged the army to intervene, and as for the Falklands, a territory that has been British before Argentina was even a country, how the hell can it be political, it like somebody coming in, unnvited off the street, and living in your house.

Who decided that the British Army was to be deployed on the streets of Northern Ireland, and who decided that a task force was to sail to the South Atlantic ?

I am sure I will regret asking / getting involved but how is going to war over an overseas colony, which is claimed by another country, not political? If you could answer without any anger or abuse Im sure it would melt my lil heart.
