Shame on the RBL?

Support a poppy drop over London

We want a plane to fly over London and drop poppy petals on armistice day I've just heard some really shocking news. The Royal British Legion are not selling poppies in certain areas on Nov 11 this... .

The above is part of an email sent to me in which it is alleged that the RBL has said it will not sell poppies in certain areas to avoid upsetting a minority of the population. The person who sent it is a member of an ethnic minority and supports the idea of the poppy drop (not sure it's feasible myself).
Does anyone know anything about the alleged refusal of the RBL to sell poppies in certain areas? If this is true then the RBL should be ashamed of itself.
