Hey. Wanna Netflix and Respect?
A screenshot of the Google TV App showing two films, 1917 and Dunkirk, under the title, and I can't believe I'm going to have to type this "The Poppy Collection". Below it - and possibly even more gag inducing, is the subtitle "Stories of wartime resilience and ingenuity for Remembrance Day" And yes, it's Google TV, not Netflix. No-one says "let's Google and Chill" apart from possibly people who ought to consider their life choices very carefully.

We all knew the answer to this, didn't we? If we didn't... Of *course* there are greetings cards.
The front of a greetings card with poppies (obviously) and the words "May we never forget" on it. There are details of how to purchase one of these, which would absolutely enable you to out remembrance everyone in your address book by sending them all one ahead of next year. It'll cost you two quid a go mind you, but if you need to be super performatively respecty, this is definitely a good way of doing it.

This guy.
A man dressed in black (quite respecty) and white trainers (not as respecty) with his hands in his pockets (not respecty at all), looking like he's hungover and wondering if he left the gas on.

Remembrance RAGE. Lewes Council, you're in trouble for not being #respecty enough. Both angry AND disgusted. Eek.
A Facebook (sorry) post, the text reads thus: "Have to say I am so angry and disgusted with Lewes town council for not having the traditional remembrance parade in order to observe the two minutes silence! What kind of idiot organises it for 2:30pm It seemed like a kick in the teeth when the whole nation is supposed to fall silent and remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice at 11am to have no organised event at the war memorial whilst traffic is just freely flowing around it Lewes town council is an absolute embarrassment" If you try and read this as it's punctuated (commas are apparently anathema), you'll likely die, unless you've got the lung capacity of Pavarotti. When he was alive, obviously.

I thought this was photoshopped but no, oh no indeed. Someone spray painted a goat for last year's #Respectival.

www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/local-n...

That's their idea of a "poignant tribute".

Wow.
A goat - you know, the animal, lives on a farm, generally ill-tempered, horns, smells bad, that sort of thing - with a poppy spray painted on its side and the words we will remembep - yes, "remembep" - them. Although the way the words have been sprayed, left to right it actually reads "we remem will bep them". Yes. A goat. No. Really. Underneath, the caption is "Martin the goat wearing..." Actually, allow me to interject here. The goat isn't "wearing" this. It hasn't been dressed in anything, it's been FUCKING SPRAY PAINTED. Ahem. Anyway. As I was saying. "...a poppy for remembrance day" It then goes on to say "a Dumfries farm has created a poignant" -yes, they've actually used the word 'poignant' about a SPRAY PAINTED FUCKING GOAT. Ahem. "tribute for remembrance day".

This is... Quite something.
A remembrance display that, quite frankly, looks like an oversized dildo, roped down to the floor, presumably to stop it taking off like one of space karen's projections. There's a silhouettey soldier apparently bowing to it.

The comments... "I blame the parents".
Comments from a local paper: Goosed115 It's a bloody embarrassment to the whole town, whoever sanctioned this needs firing absolute disgraceful Walter Russo Lennon. Agreed. I blame the parents, that's where it always starts. It needs to be stamped out.

Charity shop goodness. You too can have a bronzeish statuette of a soldier with a broken flag.

Makes you proud.
A statuette of a soldier. Looks sad.

Battle Church

Skirmish chapel

War cathedral
A BBC news story headline reading "Battle Church to display 10,000 handmade poppies to mark WW2 end". The picture is of stated amount of poppies (obviously) and, presumably, the women with too much leisure time that have made this remembrancing edifice.

Is that... Is that a figure of Winston Churchill in a cowboy hat?
Honestly, I'm not sure how to describe this. It's a library display, I think... There's a figure of...something... Made out of poppies (obviously) and there's a "lest we forget" in there... Erm.. some books. A picture of a church...

"Look, it's quite simple. Wave at the camera. All of you. Yes at the same time. Just raise your hand and wa... You know what, forget it"

Blanket #respect. 7/10 for effort. 1/10 for waving.

Everyone can relax, the poppies WILL BE GOING UP.

BBC News - Cancelled Hoyland poppy display to return after agreement reached - BBC News
www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
A news story about poppies (obviously) under the headline "Cancelled poppy display to return after agreement". The picture shows a cross made of poppies (obviously) above a roadsign.

Poppy... Wings. Curtains? Dunno. 4/10, bit random.
Poppies in some weird configuration on a church, under a sign that says "everyone is welcome". I can only assume that the welcome is conditional on wearing a faaccckin poppy

Why does this gate appear to have eyes that are crying blood? Weird. 2/10
Two giant poppies on a set of church gates with a load of smaller poppies appearing to be raining out of them. Odd.

A car covered in poppies. No, I've no idea why, either.

Ooooooh this is upsetting ALL of the right (wing) people. Outstanding.
A tweet (sorry) from the hideous Esther McVey (sorry) which reads: "Bought my poppy as I do every year (& always more than one as I invariably lose my paper ones!) However, horrified to discover The Royal British Legion (RBL) has a Head of Diversity & Inclusion at a wage of about £65k - that's a lot of poppies to sell just for that non-job wage! All the money should be going to veterans not on politically correct non-jobs." Sorry.

Charlie and Naga being put to shame by their guest who knows how to giant poppy *properly*

BBC breakfast, showing the two presenters sitting on a sofa, with poppies barely visible. Their guest, sitting opposite them, has a poppy that can be seen from actual space. A close up of the female guest on BBC breakfast, wearing a giant poppy
