    tut tut what were you thinking? Its not as if you are busy and have anything else to think about except answer on the forum ;)

    I dont believe anyone would have thought any agenda was in place Martin, but thanks for the clarification.

    What has happened I was under the impression we had freedom of speech and expression in this country.
    The poppy as I see it is a sign of respect for the brave men and women who have shed blood during wartime for our rights.
    Not for white people or christians or Brits or Americans but everybody who has served their country. I bought a poppy with no race religion or gender in mind, just to show gratitude and respect.
    I am tired of people worrying what they do or say in fear of offending somebody. It is time we stood up and said we have rights too.

    I cannot believe someone can have a 'dig' at the poppy on the header. I find that disgusting. Nasa, enjoy your freedom that someone else fought for.

    Feudal Britain needs land reform. 70% of the land is "owned" by 1 % of the population and at least 50% is unregistered (inherited by landed gentry). Thats why your slave box costs so much..

    Including removing the sick signature that NASA had. Some people just don't get it.

    My granda was a POW in WW2 I wear the poppy with pride as a mark of respect, not just for him who is still alive and baring the scars but for those who fought and lost their lives protecting their countries.
    Please show some respect NASA the freedom you have today is down to those men and boys who fought for this country.
