A Time to Remember

Morning folks....life is rather hectic here at the moment but I just had to find time to join in the challenge this week over at Daring Cardmakers

TIME TO REMEMBER
The poppy became the symbol of remembrance as they were the only living thing that survived the bloody battles of Flanders during the First World War.

I believe that we should never ever forget the ultimate sacrifice made by millions of men and women in the name of peace and freedom and it makes me so angry to see the disgusting behaviour of those Muslim fanatics burning poppies at the Armistice service in London. They obviously hate this country..it's people...it's culture and traditions but why do they live here...because of our right to freedom of speech....in their own country they would be executed as traitors of the state for such behaviour and what really gets my goat the majority of them are either students being educated at our expense or are on benefits paid for by you and me.  It's high time our namby pamby government booted these sickos and their like back to whence they came and if the Human Rights brigade have a problem with that.....well they can go too.
Catch up with you all tomorrow over at WOYWW

Edited to add: by the way folks my trusty friend Mr Dyson isn't feeling very well today and we await a home visit from the Dyson Doc as we speak...let's hope he is on the mend soon or I am in deep doodah.   Just got a little tweet over at Hero Arts Twitter.....HERE and HERE

  6. Hi Kath Your card is fantastic. I love those flowers.
    You sound realy upset and thats something I onderstand very well. I hope your anger is only for those muslim fanatic and not for the hole group of muslims.
    I think there are extimist every where and in every religio The only thing to do is to go in debate. Anger never solved anything it only leeds to war. I have traveled through Syria and Lebanon, and they also hate extremists. They are ordinary people with ordinary families who want to live in peace.
    I hope you understand wath I mean. I send you a big hug and lots of love Marja

  7. Here, here Kate agree totally with all of your todays comments. I too wonder why if the UK is so bad why do these extemists stay in our country and if they're so bothered about their countryman why don't they go back and fight for them.........simple answer the're COWARDS.

    I agree with what you say Kath,
    Pity they can't put all these people on a island with a huge wall around it and let them get on with it.

    Hope you anger has now subsised now we have put the world to rights.

    Hope Mr Dyson get better soon.

  20. Hi Kath
    Love your cards and wholeheartedly agree with your comments.
    Here in Newcastle we dont have Christmas lights incase they offend! We have a Winter Festival! What about the offence that causes me? The PC brigade need to come down off their cloud and step into the real world.
    Lots of love Margaret (FlowerSoft)

  25. Hi Kath

    Stunning card, love the vibrant colours of the poppies and such a beautiful meaning behind all the tragedy.

    As for what you wrote about the burning of the poppies from those extremists, you are totally right! As you know I am Muslim and proud, I am also British and proud. However those morons who were so disrespectful do not represent me or my beliefs at ALL! They are a disgrace and I hate that those d***heads get to represent Muslims in such a bad light! I wore my poppy, my husband wore a poppy, my kids wore a poppy and we all respected the 2 minutes silence as did all the Muslims I know!!

    I will not apologise for them as they are not from me and I am not from them, I just pray that their fate delivers to them what they wished for on the brave soldiers who have fought and lost their lives.

    My own Father fought in the Gulf war when he was in the RAF. My best friends son lost most of his intestines when he was shot in Afghanistan, these are the real people who we should be remembering on this day, not those intent on spreading hate and lies.

  29. This is a lovely card! The poppy turned out beautifully. I remember the poppies on Veteran's Day growing up here in the States, as volunteers and veteran's accepted donations and received a poppy on many of the downtown streets. Didn't make any difference if it was a child giving a penny or someone giving a dollar or two, it was the thought and the gesture that counted back then. I don't believe many cities do it any more
