I heard a rather good riposte to the easily offended.
”My right to free speech doesn’t start where you think your right to being offended ends”.

The only way to combat this shite is to ignore em, fuckem!

The company I work for at the moment has a number of Polish workers. One of them asked me what all the wearing of poppies was about, so I explained.
His reply was "why do you all still live in the past.?"
I said, "we don't live in it, but we remember it because what happened in the past shaped the world and the country we live in today."
He said, "but it's all shit here "

I said, "your freedom to come here, work and say what you like was bought and paid for in blood. We honoured a promise to fight if your country was invaded. Try not to piss on that while you're over here. It won't be appreciated".

He had the good grace to look embarrassed. Or as embarrassed as you can behind a face mask.

When I worked in the kitchen we stopped for the silence on remembrance day, all except a little Asian prisoner who continued to clatter & bang about making as much noise as he can, I called him into the office & told him “if the other prisoners had chosen to stick a knife in you you would expect me to jump in & save you, but you cannot put your prejudice aside & show a bit of respect for two minutes, I served my Country & find your actions abhorrent & totally disrespectful”
He smirked & replied “chill bro, we don’t all agree” I asked him how long he had left to serve & he replied two years, I said “if you survive two years feel free to fuck off back to your oppressive Country” he laughed & said “I was born in Oldham” I informed him that puppies born in stables are still dogs”

And the Poles are the same people that won’t close Auschwitz because they say it needs to stay (and rightly so) as a permanent reminder that something so terrible should never happen again.

There will always be individuals who have their opinions, some actually believe that remembrance day is a celebration of War.
Some people need to be told that their right to free speech, their right to freedom & their right to have any sort of opinion was paid for in blood.

I find that most cant come up with a decent response when its pointed out to them in no uncertain terms

Their scope for response is quite limited with your fist in their mouth.
