Let’s see what the police

Let’s see what the police come up with, but this story doesn’t sound especially believable.

Her husband Nick said

Her husband Nick said volunteers had been “subjected to horrendous abuse by mindless left-wing idiots when putting up lamp post poppies. What is this country coming to?”

It appears that diagnostic criteria for ‘left-wing’ include, above all else, mocking and swearing at Remembrance Day preliminaries and, presumably, the Remembrance ceremonies/ services themselves.

This Nick is no doubt a Reform/ Tory supporter fabricating/ enhancing such stories, and labelling the perpetrators ‘left-wing’

Since we’re now into Poppy

Since we’re now into Poppy Rage season* I thought I’d see what updates there were for this thread.

That one was completely different though, it was a driver not a car as in the other 3.

So 1 in 4 of the stories manage to follow reporting guidelines.

They could repurpose the car for a “War on the Motorist” memorial though.
