The Royal British Legion (RBL), like so many other charities, is this year adapting its fundraising efforts for the annual Poppy Appeal – and Bob Seely MP is encouraging Islanders to get involved.
Bob, a former British Army Captain who was awarded a Joint Commanders Commendation in 2009 for his tour of Iraq and a Military MBE in 2016, is appealing to Islanders to get online and find out how to support this year’s #EveryPoppyCounts appeal.
With some people unable, or reluctant, to leave their homes this year, and with many of the charity’s collectors unable to conduct face to face collections, a range of new ways for people to show their support remotely has been unveiled by the RBL.
Bob said:
“There are so many ways to get involved this year and donate to the appeal and it’s important that we do. Not only does this time of year give us a chance to remember those who fought for our country, but it’s also a chance for us to give something back.
“You can get involved by displaying a poppy poster in your window, donating online or undertaking a virtual Poppy run. If you can donate to the appeal, please do so.”
More information about this year’s appeal can be found at http://rbl.org.uk/poppyappeal.
Is he Airborne??
I wish he was!!
One of the most respectful ways our Government could show those who died for this country would be to remove all known terrorist sympathisers from this land, for as we see in France, the enemy is now breeding within.
Those who died for their country would never have risked their lives so gallantly if they knew how badly all parties have let them down over the decades.
I am certain that many British people, and those who do love our people and our country who are now living here would give most generously to see these vile beings removed and others prevented from ever coming here.
Are we supposed to be in awe of this idiot, just because you wear that uniform might make you think you are superior, but alas you look just like an action man, all plastic and fake.
You are the only idiot here. Your vile comments about this great man are sickening .I hope he gets a knighthood .
Great man, where, he is hardly Winston Churchill is he. After all he did break the last lockdown rules. Perhaps a suitable knighthood would be “Order of the Sausage.” Saying a few words to help Yemen, whilst at the same time not giving a single jot for the poorer people on this island is shameful.
And he’s a crap hat
WTF!
What for breaking National Lockdown RULES whilst having a Barbecue in SEAVIEW.
Wake up!
Exactly John, not only did he enjoy a lovely barbeque during lockdown but before he also licked Teresa May’s nethers by voting for whatever thing she put in parliament just to be a total licker, now hes voted against school kids getting a decent school meal in them too to lick Boris’ nethers too. Waste of space. Oh and the 10k hunt payment was authorised too. I pity the fools that keep voting good old Bob and the Torys in. Shower of sh*t the lot of them. If you lot must insist on a tory just get a shovel and dig Barry Field up!
The TORY PARTY have f–ked up with the dealing of Coronavirus
Tie not straight, bad turnout!
