Veterans Day (US) and Armistice/Remembrance Day (UK) both mark 11 November 1918. The UK tradition centres on the fallen, with two-minute silences, wearing a poppy, and formal Cenotaph ceremonies. The US version honours all who served as a federal holiday, distinct from Memorial Day.
The recent Wetherspoon episode, where staff briefly treated poppies as potentially “political” amid local protests, shows why we should keep these symbols clear of partisan politics.
They work best as shared, non-partisan markers of service and sacrifice.
Both countries use the day to pause, remember, and reaffirm respect for those who served—something that still brings people together.
My highest regards to those who serve, and especially those who have fallen, on both sides of the pond, Europe and elsewhere.

Was Russell Brand the real victim?
Think about it
Wasn't he off his head on drugs at the time, was he able to give consent?
I'm just trying to turn the story on its head, look at it from a different angle
We forget that men can be victims too
I still think there was fault on both sides but that was never taken into consideration because men are always seen as the agressors and women the victims
I’m tired of reading about rape charges 20 years later. All evidence is gone and it’s a he said, she said situation. Even an apology, after a night out it can mean anything. Yesterday I had a guy tried to kiss me. I pulled away. He didn’t send a sorry note but if he did, it can mean numerous things 20 years later. It seems like women are getting a special classification when it comes to legal matters. Kill your kids and walk away. Kill your unborn child, even in the last trimester, and walk away a hero with bragging rights. I don’t know the details of the Russel Brand case. But I do have serious concerns for the future of our legal system. What do you think?
Can we as americans agree to get him released. We can try him here with a fair trial. Seriously what the fuck can the europeans really do about it.

Jakub Kulik is the name of the police officer who shot and stopped the shooter in Krakow yesterday. He saved many lives by taking on a skilled shooter armed with a rifle with nothing more than his pistol. He was shot several times by that shooter with that rifle and still managed to stand strong and take him down.
It’s hard to describe the selfless courage and strength of heart to do that. He was a soldier before becoming a police officer and that training saved his and other lives. If we had far more courageous lion-hearted people like him in our world, we would have a far safer world today.
May he make a full recovery 🙏🏼
BREAKING NEWS UPDATE! As well as Six Innocent people Dead out of the 15 people Injured Two are police officers one is the officer seen below👇 who is reported to be seriously ill! Thoughts & Prayers from the Uk Policing Family with Both officers & all the other victims!!🙏
It appears the perpetrator was unarmed, down, incapacitated and had his hands up when the cop repeatedly shot at him.

Please understand that I’m not a Democrat or a Republican.
I’ve become completely anti-government.
I think they’re all corrupt AF.
And keeping us distracted by fighting with each other.
Wake up.
BE HONEST:
You’re at an outdoor event. You meet someone you’re incredibly attracted to. The chemistry is off the charts, and things are getting HOT.
But there’s one problem… the only place to take things further is a porta-potty.
Are you getting freaky in there?
Russell Brand is left 'cowering in fear' in his cell as hundreds of prisoners chant: 'There's a Brand new n***e on the wing!' trib.al/7r6DiMR
MeToo allegations dating back more than 20 years
Russell Brand is convicted of rape and sexual assault charges on allegations dating back more than 20 years. The judge said Brand would receive a prison sentence. apnews.com/article/russell-b…
How on earth, given the timescale since the alleged offences, the lack of physical/witness evidence and the alleged victims’ willingness to have a sexual encounter with him, can they have proved Brand’s guilty “beyond reasonable doubt”?
Holy shit! Russell Brand (@rustyrockets) has been found guilty of rape.
For all the actual rape victims out there, the crime committed against you is the worst one possible.
HOWEVER, convicting someone of rape, decades later with NO evidence but your testimony, is wrong.
Russell Brand has been convicted of rape by the corrupt UK courts.
Brand was expected to defend himself against sexual assault claims by six women he allegedly met in 1999 and 2009.
How is any human expected to defend themselves against claims that Old!?
If the governing standard is that any woman can bring forward an accusation of misconduct from more than twenty years earlier and that claim alone is sufficient for a conviction, then every man’s future is cooked.
I thought it was the attempt that's celebrated every year. 🙃
421 years ago today Robert Catesby, Guy Fawkes and others attempted a plot to destroy Parliament with gunpowder. Their failure is celebrated every year with bonfires and fireworks, making them the sworn enemy of pets across the country.

Four things can be true at once:
- Russell Brand went against the leftist establishment during and after Covid
- Russell Brand was a sex addict who lied to and exploited women
- it is almost impossible to prove assault allegations beyond a reasonable doubt decades after the fact with no physical proof
- the British legal system went after him far harder than immigrant rape gangs, Jimmy Savile, Cyril Smith and many others
