The Poppy – long since a symbol of remembrance for those who have died in battle throughout various wars – most notably as a symbol of remembrance day and sold by the Royal British Legion in order to raise funds to help those affected by loss and injury during combat either finanically or in other ways. Yet at the minute one place that the poppy seems to be continually appearing, is in material and merchandise produced by Britain First and their cronies.

Coffee And Cigarettes – Further Restrictions On Smoking In Public
This may not be a popular topic with some, but there is a debate at present about whether or not to change the smoking ban in favour of stricter regulations in public areas. Now don’t get me wrong I agreed with the initial phase of this – I used to work in pubs and it being stopped inside was a blessing.

More UKIP Truth Bombs – Awkward Conversations
As you’re probably aware, UKIP have finally managed to get their first MP in parliament. Now personally I’m not sure I see this as a win for them, as the incumbent of the seat contested in the by-election defected from the Tories to UKIP therefore triggering the need for a vote. The constituents may have voted for him as ukip and may have voted for him to continue what he was doing.

Red White And Brainwashed – The Rise of EDL, Britain First, UKIP

Plague Inc. Could It Really Happen?
Boston Marathon
This is just a quick post, I’m not going to claim to understand the whole situation or present an opinion about the how’s and why’s of it all.
However I will say I am appalled that somebody could take an event that was a family day out and a charity event for the good of the community and causes to do commit such an act. But in its nature terrorism, doesn’t care about these things, and this is the way the people behind it unfortunately make their statements, even if the cause they represent is totally irrelevant to the event in question.
I’ve met some great people from Boston and hope they’re safe along with anyone else who has been affected by this in a personal way.
