I have no idea if this story is true or not .. however ..methinks you should rethink your gut reaction ....
The RBL is not some mythical beast or autonomous organisation with a life of its own .. it is made up of
people, many of whom are elderly ex-servicemen and women. Its "poppy sellers" are either the aforementioned members, or kind volunteers.
Why, just WHY, do you
demand that they be put in the position of being abused and deviled by the, admittedly, few idiots that do exist and will make trouble ??
If, big IF, the RBL have actually made this decision it is probably based on fact and research, which is far more than your blatant ringing of the outrage bus bell.
Of course, as you won't be subject to the possible abuse, I guess your "outrage" at the "RBL" is fine ... I just wonder how a three letter acronym can be ashamed of itself ... as you put it.
