War hero's benefits axed - because he was selling POPPIES !


Recommended Posts

Nothing there to say he wasn't.......

 

Nothing to say he was.

 

He is 60 so that would rule him out of any "wars" in Cyprus or Kenya.

 

Northern Ireland wasn't "war" either. Nothing in the article to show anything heroic.

 

Just emotive guff - **** poor journalism.

The analogy really gets to my head ! Why someone would come up with such extreme opposites is beyond me. But obviously I missed the point. I'm very patriotic. Peados and war veterans don't mix verywell in my head.

 

They weren't mixing, they were polar opposites. You've fixated on this.

 

BTW a paedophile can be patriotic too. :hihi:

It's a rare old day that I agree with you Ron, but today is one of those days.

 

It sure is. Some common ground :)

Er... they still pay income tax.

RJ whilst that is correct it also applies to the DWP and there is also a chance they have misinterpreted as well. A lot of them get things wrong.

 

Absolutely. Quite often an individual employee of the DWP does.

 

This is of course Cameron's fault, and all those who voted Tory.:hihi:

Poor analogy comparing paedos with war heroes. Too sensitive. Obtuse ? Depends whether you mean "blunt" or talking about a "triangle", or should I take that as an insult ?

 

Sorry I meant to put deliberately obtuse. Not meant as an insult.

 

I think the analogy stands (if mentioning Paedophilia is insensitive then yes it obviously is too sensitive). Perhaps he should have used another analogy like a charity dedicated to the rehabilitation of nice friendly murderers or rapists. Much nicer people than paedos.
