James McLean refuses to wear poppy

No bigger government in the world put out propaganda than the british . In fact if you watch the March on Sunday on TV , they commented on a group that was not even know about till a years or so ago. It was the first time they march this year, and they were set up to spread YES you guess it PROPAGANDA !

As for YOU! Plastic military junta , Your ammunition is to take the Piss out of The disabled ,Thats why Annis slapped you down on this Board.
Also you comment about the F W A , Yes your 100% right , I knew Cayo, Cos, Anthony Lewis, and Gethin and Lone Wolf very well. As for there friendship with the IRA ,I would be very careful what you say about things you know nothing of.

The FWA are a bunch of remdials who wouldn't know what opression was if it hit them in the face. To think they believe that Wales is being treated badly by the union is a nonsensical and to think they believe we are/were in the same situation as Palestine and Ireland is a slap in the face to those people who are fighting REAL OPPRESSION.

As for Mclean, our ancestors fought wars so he had the choice of whether or not to partake in something. The poppy fascists on here need to be a little more understanding.

So the IRA didn't train up the FWA or even supply weapons to them then..? May I ask if you were a member of the FWA..?

Sorry I forgot to add that are you also saying WelshCityDragon that the FWA didn't march side-by-side with the IRA in Dublin during the 60's to Irish celebrations of the 50th anniversary of the Easter Rising..?

I wonder how he feels about his beloved LONDONderry becoming UK city of culture ?

Makes me sick - BIGOT ............... no other word.

Many irish died during the wars - problem is when you are bainwashed in these areas education does not come into it.

He also has a face like Lennon - one you wouldnt want to stop punching

Too true, alot of people are brainwashed with this ideology.

Surely the poppy symbolizes that freedom comes at a cost? This freedom also includes the right to wear a poppy or not?

This is a non story stirred up by the continually offended nation of moaners that pretend to be offended by everything, i for one could not give a shit if he wears one or not. I choose to wear one out of respect for people who have "really" suffered for the right to live in comparable freedom. He likely feels this symbol has nothing to do with the suffering of his forefathers so he doesn't wear it, what is the problem here?

A lot of Celtic movements March that day and Yes F W A was one of them ,so was the N P F .
As for me, I dont need to tell you anything about my what I did ,or if I did anything .

and the training and weapons..?

I do apologise but I think it proves to you that I know more than you think about the subject don't you agree..?

I understand why he wouldnt want to wear one. I myself have great respect for human life but the thing the British soldiers did to the Irish ,in there own county was horrific ,and just maybe his Great grandparents suffered from this.

he has every right not to wear it...but he has to be man enough to take the shit....end of

I would boo him every opportunity, why don't he f**k off to southern Ireland and play for a team over there..f*cking fenian f**k off

You know nothing , all you are doing is tell what you read, not what you know to be fact , so dont try bullshit me boy

His decision, won't lose sleep over it and doesn't affect me.

Fair enough, but sod off home and play for Cliftonville or Derry City. Frankly, I'm fed up of paddies coming over here and playing the victim. Just another foreign country.

same james maclean who played for northern ireland under 21,s?same james maclean who would have stood for g.s.t.q?same james maclean who plays for a team who play up the road from a town his so called freedom fighters deciced to indiscrimatley bomb and rip the shopping centre to bits killing inocent young kids?grade one hypocrite.

70,000 men from the Irish republic also fought for Britain in WW2, but were discriminated against by there own government

His decision. Its highly ironic that the people who are supporting the soldiers who fought for free will are now attempting to take that very notion away.

Many people are against the British army, maybe not them as individuals but what they now represent which is Americas lapdog in illegal invasions and recent atrocities. People have their reasons and if you cant accept that then why did we bother taking on Hitler in the first place?

It seems a country where free thought and opinion being allowed is not what you condone.

Would there have been such a reaction if it was a Muslim, a Jew or any other person not wearing the poppy due to religious beliefs? I doubt it

Surely, people have a choice whether to wear the poppy or not? I was at Villa Park on Saturday and I was wearing a poppy on my jacket. I would say that about one in twenty City fans were also wearing a poppy. So can the majority of City fans also be slated for not wearing the poppy?

Come on fellas, it's a symbol for those who fought for us to be able to make the choice.

Oh for gods sake, if a Muslim hadn't wore one he would be public enemy number one and be on the front page of every newspaper.

VERY WELL SAID i wouldnt wear the poppy in protest of our forces being out in iraq and afghan .... i feel the poppy is being used these days because before this so called f*cking war on terror there was hardly a poppy in sight!

Pardon my ignorance, but who are the FWA?

Threads like these are funny...

Brave men fought for us in World War 1 and 2 to protect freedom and democracy.

Yet people want to hate on someone for not wearing something, due to their beliefs.

Which basically goes against democracy...

Everyone should lighten up. The soldiers that fought for us in the wars were absolute legends, NOTHING will ever change that. If a few small minded numpties want to believe otherwise then that's up to them. The very fact that they are allowed to have an opinion in the first place is a direct contradiction of their own beliefs.

Does he actually believe Hitler would've stopped at Britain and left Ireland alone?

Pardon my ignorance, but who are the FWA?

Free Wales Army, never hear about them now and only used to hear about them back in the day when they attempted some crackpot idea that the police immediately thwarted. They were seen as a massive joke in Wales and rightly so.

If a comedy was made about one wing of the IRA it would accurately reflect the FWA in other words.
