Is the money needed these days? We have the benefit system to look after people, the army personnel are reasonably well paid with a pension and compensation for injurries. Billions is raised by various charities, you would think hardship was a thing of the past. Why does it still exist? Ask the Royal British Legion - or look on their website.

Any comment on the actual topic of the thread which was about a very positive act and generosity and support for our servicemen and women from the general public. It was not about the functions of the RBL. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That seems a tad hypocritical... loud, ill-informed, obnoxious opinions, and ranting to verge of inducing a stroke, aren't racial stereotypes.

Patrick Christy of GBnews decided to start a Just Giving site to raise the £10,000 normal collected in Brighton. Between yesterday and today over £150,000 has been raised for the RBL. Well done GBnews ! Well Brighton is full of lefties And we all know the lack of respect they have for our statues and monuments They probably think that the poppy is a symbol of white supremacy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
