Accrington Pals’ legacy to be marked in style (From Lancashire Telegraph)

As laudable is this project may seem, you have to remember that the whole episode was nearly 100 years ago. It is a different world. The boys from Accrington had a different outlook on life than the ones of today. Supposing there was a parade down the main street of Accrington, who would be watching it? The economic immigrants from the Indian Sub continent, the economic immigrants from Eastern European countries, the crims getting their bit of sunshine before their curfew starts at 7pm ? Sadly the people no longer care that the lads from the local mills, coal mines and farms,who should have had a prosperous life, ended up in the trenches, with no long term future. And sadly also, you have to realise, that because these brave young men volunteered to fight for their country, in the long term also, the scroungers from the Stone Age pile into the UK, to benefit from Great Britain's industry. I have often thought about the analogy that if the Great War happened today, with the calibre of people we have in the UK today, the airports would have queues miles long, with the foreigners deciding that they do not want to fight for their Mother country, and then again, the Drug Dealing, Peadophile scum would not be happy that they cannot carry on their VAT scamming dealings from an Army Barracks. It is is different world, just look around and smell the curry.

Wetwangman, What a lot of bile you spout from your ivory tower - please feel free to have your own opinions , but don't think that everybody in this area is of the same ilk. I for one would wholeheartedly welcome this - it may be just what this fading town needs to instil some pride back into it.Being of an age where I also have seen vast social changes, some good, some not so, it cheers me to know that my family (including a teenage son) would be proud to be associated with such an endeavour. Please remember for what these brave men died for, freedom of speech, freedom to have opinions that you can have published - lifestyle choices etc etc . As for the call to arms should it happen, who knows what would happen - its a different battle field out there nowadays.

freedom of speech and opinion? isnt that what he was using.... plus the last bit you sound like you agree with him anyway

you are a very bitter spitefull right wing pathetic man go and get a job at red.

"it may be just what this fading town needs to instil some pride back into it"

lets not forget the words of wisdom pride comes before a fall, and fall yee shall ...

"you are a very bitter spitefull right wing pathetic man go and get a job at red"

screen names are often linked directly to some internal idiom, and i was wondering how you came about yours, is it linked to the monatary value of your judgements? how clever you are...

WETWANGMAN ... FUNNY.... ill chalk you one UP. you are now officially not a zero but one (of a kind). well done.
for all you zeros out there you missed the bus, ending up on all fours bleating like guilty sheep who fears offending anything and
everything..tut tut tut... ... ... duality is an illusion,behind the smokescreen liesinfinity, of course the zeros cannot see the infinate variables because they wear the blinkers of conformaty, and proof of that is by DEPENDING on funding
from the moneylending parasites who will turn it rotten from the inside out and turn it into a commercial enterprise..FOR PROFIT. wouldnt it be wise if you remembered them in the same way you remember
everyone else who has died instead of making an exception? you wouldnt hold one for your nan or sister
like this so why the pals..you harp on to abused children about forgetting the past and to move on, yet hang on to a miserable past experience
yourselves...
empathy is a far cry from truly understanding the complexity of the human mind through personal experience, try sympathy instead, and set an example for the ones who are suffering in the HERE AND NOW.... jumping up and barking shows how little effect knowledge has had on backbiters regarding all that there is ... on a personal level i take exception to no-one, no-one is exempt from criticism or ridicule or investigation,i find flaws in systems and people, these flaws have to be addressed,not silenced ... taking
exceptions is a gateway to corruption and chaos ...wise men laugh at this
system and the unbridled intellect exploits and abuses it, and the nut job goes along with it, sad but true.

""Please remember for what these brave men died for" ...

I do, for profit. their deaths made many people rich and powerful,
and looks like they died in vain too for we dont have free speech do we aspeople are jailed these days for expressing an opinion under the guise of hate crimes and troll crimes, justice is beyond redemption,it has no value.seems truth and independant thought is demonised, discouraged and ridiculed by the infected ones who fear rocking the boat, a rewire of the nueral network and a defragmentation of the mind is in order but i doubt if one will find the focus to take time out and re-evaluate existence as it is
and not how it was. what with so much brilliant "programming" on the tv theres no time to do that is there... sentimentality is a weakness to be exploited, remember paper moon and moses "prey" n the leetel gurl robbing widows? most of the answers are staring you in the face, take the blinkers off and take in more sunlight...baal is good to us... ... ...

There are far more serious things to attend too such as the treason and fraud going on right now in government and council
chambers ..these are primary and urgent requiring a unity of good hearts and uninfected minds... the pals thing is a mere distraction for the weak and lame of head, one should seek remedy to control
ones own emotions and not allow external influence to cloud your judgement.
and the remedy is ...GET YOUR PRIORITIES RIGHT.

There is no axis of evil ... its axon of ego ...
