Or is this really inappropriate?

[dreamingaboutcheese]

Saw this on my local memorial and it really annoyed me. Regardless of political stance, it's just not the time or place to be trying to score political points. AIBU/naive?

[TheQueenOfWands]

UKIP shit is inappropriate everywhere.

[Ttbb]

Don't all pay litical larties lay wreaths?

[SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius]

They do, @Ttbb - what makes this one inappropriate, imo, is the visible political branding on it. I assume that the other political parties do not feel the need to advertise on their wreaths (and would condemn them equally, if they did).

[dreamingaboutcheese]

Exactly SDTG. I'm happy for them to lay a wreath. It's the snarky message I object to Ttbb

[LurkingHusband]

The have to find a way to pay Farages legal bill somehow ?

[BreakfastAtSquiffanys]

I think the UKIP branding is pretty naff, but what does the message on attached card say (I can't read it)

[WhatwouldAryado]

That's really crass.

[MissionItsPossible]

I ran a search and found pictures of a Conservative and Lib Dems, however, they both look photoshopped to me and one was on a pro-UKIP site. Completely tacky to score political points. An article (from the Guardian I think or the Independent) was blasted on both sides recently saying if you voted for Brexit you had no right to wear a poppy.

[chewiecat]

It reads
The party still fighting to save the country


Yanbu op
This is so inappropriate

[RainbowFrog]

It says "somethingorother branch of UKIP. The party still fighting to save our COUNTRY. You are never forgotten" (their capitals on 'country' and I couldn't decipher the branch name). Completely inappropriate IMO - the message and the branding

[shhhfastasleep]

UKIP , as ever, can fuck off. They don’t get to wave their shit in front of your nose when you are honouring those who fell in war.

[LurkingHusband]

Is it worth notifying the Royal Legion (goes off to see if I can do it ...)

[dreamingaboutcheese]

Glad is not just me. You're right Lurking, I might give the RBL a call about it. I just want to go over and tippex out the middle bit of the message to make a point... but that would be vandalism, right?

[TheSnowFairy]

So completely inappropriate.

Tossers.

(We used to live in Spelthorne.)

[LurkingHusband]

Is that Spelthorne near Feltham (racks brain ...) ?

[dreamingaboutcheese]

Yup, not far Lurking

[TheSnowFairy]

lurking or Staines-upon-Thames as it is now not just Staines, oh no

[FizzyGreenWater]

They just can't help showing themselves for the shitscrapes they are every single time they do something. It's almost funny.

[LurkingHusband]

probably showing my age here, but it used to be called "The Dirty Division" in the Met Police .... I made the mistake of asking once, and was told well, Feltham, Hampton and Staines (Very droll, minister)

[PoppyPopcorn]

That's awful. Our MP laid a wreath at the local memorial on Sunday with a totally neutral message and no political branding at all.

[StevieNicksRhiannon]

Could someone please tell me what the wording on the attached note says? My monitor refuses to enlarge it.

Though if it's UKIP, I expect it's something provocative.

[StevieNicksRhiannon]

^ Oh, sorry, I see that was already answered upthread!
Forgot to refresh.

Jeez, every time you think they can't sink any lower...

[lils888]

That’s their old logo so I’m guessing it’s either photoshopped or an old photo

UKIP are trash either way.

[lils888]

Oh you actually saw it, missed that. It’s still their old logo so I’m guessing it’s not from them, just a dim kipper

[dreamingaboutcheese]

lils no, it's actually there, placed by the local branch on Sunday during the parade. Doesn't surprise me they can't even get their party's logo right...
