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.
