I am going take a wild guess here that you did not even bother to watch the vid before posting your slavering drivel. Maybe understanding the reasons for the war better is respecting the dead more than posting teary eyed sentimental shite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter who was at fault i feel it is appropriate to remember for some of us. Especially when u have family who fought in the great war. You dont. Your choice. Bingo.

Blue collection today so no half empty bottles 😯 You made this slightly bizarre reply to me for reasons only known to you. ("...just go and stay in Russia then" - eh?!) It is clear you had not watched the film. If you had you would have realized it was nothing to do with anything you drivel on about in your reply. "They did not die in vain"... yes yes very emotive but again you seem to have imagined this being something do with my post. It does not matter if you are trolling or genuinely just like this but you are a massive waste of time either way so I'll not bother replying so much going forward.

Landlords took the opportunity to hike rents so high that working class women, who's husbands, sons and brothers were dying at the front, were threatened with mass eviction. The women fought back, launching a rent strike and repelling landlord's with street fighting.
