Thousands of men from Ireland fought in WW1, where the poppy imagery comes from for remembrance day, so I don’t really see much issue in it, especially if you had a relative who fought in the war. I understand having strong opinions against it, but so long as you’re not like throwing money at the British Legion or some shite, it’s not gonna make a lotta difference.
That was quick, five posts until some humourless person had to take it seriously
Ah he’s dead now, I don’t think it’s a coincidence.
I’m not a tan. Tans dress up in black and tell people want to do, whereas priests….more drinks!
The poppy exhibitionism became really obnoxious during the Iraq/Afghanistan wars, before Ted’s time.
“And now we move on to liars”.
Irish people should, if they must, wear the poppy with the Shamrock to underscore that they are commemorating fellow countrymen who fought in WWI and WWII rather than those ‘servicemen’ who facilitated Britain’s brutal history in Ireland and elsewhere.
It’s a flower. Like a carnation. You wear it to commemorate the fallen. Maybe you prefer Japanese Knotweed.

And I’d think very fast and say “I’m in favour.”
Sad sight to see. This was his last tv appearance, he died shortly after.
