The Last Post Today At Oakwell

Someone on here was the first to introduce politics into the thread

Ring any bells RF

"Watched cenotaph this morning, lovely to see the respect paid by the German president today,Animals right about moving on, shame that finian w@anker James McClean and those who support his stance can't think the same way."

I think we'll end up going around in circles again nip but here goes -

That's exactly my point Exile, it's about remembrance and respect for those who fought and died.
It isn't about royalty,the aristocracy,party politics,class politics. It's about ordinary folk like you and I who were killed whilst serving in or associated with our armed forces.

Read a really interesting article about bus companies sending their buses and drivers to the front in WW1 to help ferry troops forward and wounded back, many of the drivers lost their lives. It's about folk like them Exile, not whether you agree with the politics of them going there in the first place.

In that case why mention the old commie or McClean at all ?

To make the point that it shouldn't be about their politics ??
