Its time to pay your debts of honour
Yes its a grandious title, but as we all know, millions of people died in the war against the Nazis. If it wasn’t for these people who gave their lives to defend us, we would be a lot worse off? Do you think you would be able to practice BDSM and devient sex under a Nazi Government? Do you think you would be able to go about your business freely. Do you think you would have half of what you have today? These people that defended our fundamental freedoms, often at great cost to themselves and their families. They deserve the best we can give them. The poppy appeal has only one purpose, to help vetrans of ALL wars,
Would you give up your life to defend your people and your country? I would sure be scared. These courageous people did it, for no other reason than love of their people, country and a hatred of what was happening. We owe these people more than we can ever repay. To that end, I’m thinking i’m going to post a one off offer on 11/11 that for the $1 you spend, i’ll donate $10.
That there’s some corner of a foreign field
That is for ever England. There shall be
In that rich earth a richer dust concealed;
A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware,
Gave, once her flowers to love, her ways to roam,
A body of England’s, breathing English air,
Washed by the rivers, blessed by the suns of home.
And think, this heart, all evil shed away,
A pulse in the eternal mind, no less
Gives somewhere back the thoughts by England given;
Her sights and sounds; dreams happy as her day;
And laughter, learnt of friends; and gentleness,
In hearts a peace, under an English heaven.

What a great idea, m8!
Not many people think about debts paid by others for their freedoms!

Thanks. TBH I am very happy (if humbled as all we can do is give them money, when they gave so much more) to be able to help those that now need it most. Lets hope we raise lots of cash for them.
