I had a post on this topic and have just noticed it has been removed.

Why was it removed?

There was one swear word which you hear every day on the tv followed by the word "OFF".

i've served in the armed forces for this country, and i cant make a simple statement about poppies.

Why not???

So the only problem with my post was the "F" word?

Quite right too and insensitive to those who have given their lives for us, which many have recognised on this thread.
 
Never saw the post but I get the drift.
Yes probably the F word, otherwise I totally agree with you.

I did not see your post pred, but crudeness cannot be taken out of context!

Is the poppy emblem something that is being sullied by celebrity overuse? Everyone that appears on BBC or Sky news wears a poppy. I'm sure they didn't all arrive at the studio wearing one so when they went to make-up they had one fitted. Surely it is up to the individual to decide if they wish to wear one - not some kind of blanket use by large corporations for marketing purposes? Does the England team really need to wear a poppy? If so, could you stop other teams wearing crucifixes and Islamic symbols? What's your view on the poppy?

Mine is that I support it - but on an individual basis whereby you buy a poppy and pin it to your jacket. I don't support the celebrity poppy. I think it is trivialising what it stands for.

So what about the opposite - are FIFA right to say the England and Welsh football teams CANNOT wear a poppy while they do their 'jobs' this weekend? FIFA say they cannot allow teams to wear religous or political icons on their shirts - I wasn't aware the poppy was either of those things?

Does anyone know if rememberance day is marked around the world, or is it pretty much a UK thing? I've always assumed it was pretty much world-wide as all nations must have lost men in wars at some point?
 
The Royal British Legion are not selling poppies in certain areas for Nov 11 this year. This is because some minorities say that it will upset them. I say The poppy is a symbol of reverence for our fallen heroes of all the wars the BRITISH military have fought in. BRITAIN STAND UP AND SAY 'WE WANT THE POPPY SOLD EVERY WHERE IN THE UK'. THIS IS OUR RIGHT TO REMEMBER OUR FALLEN..
 
Please accept appologies if this is a hoax post regarding the sale of poppies.
 
Does sound a bit mischievous with an intent to incite the usual xenophobic nonsense.

No no, the only problem is that you are a bigotted scum that supports war and who pretends like the rest that he does so out of respect,,

Bull- ****.

White poppie for me thanks ;)
