Snowstorm In A Teacup?

I shall wear a poppy because an act of remembrance once a year is the very least
that those of us who have not been asked to risk our lives can offer those who did
not have our choice.[/B]

i agree, i get a poppy every year out of respect of what the earlier generations did for us. they sacrificed so much.
i think its up to the individual if they want to wear a poppy or not.

Am I correct in thinking that the number of presenters wearing a poppy on TV has increased over the years ?

It seems now that 'it's part of the obligatory uniform.' I cannot recall that years ago it was such. How do others remember this?

Maybe since the Government made the stupid (illegal) decisions to send troops into the sovereign countries of Iraq and Afghanistan (invade them) the desire to recognise those who who have been killed and maimed unnecessarily, has become more prominent.
