Mull of Kintyre

Admittedly most of the dead were my friends and colleagues, but am I alone in finding this rather grotesque:

Will it be Warren Point next?

Mike,
I would agree that badge is in very bad taste.
That seller does produce some weird badges with an RUC theme.

Mike,
Yes WP may be next.
Its all about making money Mike (for Ebay and the sellers), and not about morality or anything else. Wait a few years, maybe they will start selling pin badges for "I served in Iraq" next...
Appalling, yes. Expected, yes.
Any means of making a profit seems to be fair game. The BBC programs dedicated to showing how people are screwing everyone never ceases to amaze me. The banks did it in style and still do it with impunity (and the other fakers), so why shouldn't people like this seller do it as well. Disgusted from Dudelange.

Mike - I feel exactly as you do. It's horrible.

A friend of mine was on the apron going to board when he was recalled to Belfast - at the time, much to his annoyance. I lost colleagues too.

As much as I feel they should not be forgotten, this is cheap and horrible.
