The Red Poppy was inspired by the First World War. A War that had NOTHING to do with defending freedom, democracy or free speech ------
A Red Poppy to remember the fallen and support charity is a terrific idea, when people start linking it to defending freedom and democracy then I have a real problem with it. The vast majority of those folk the Poppy remembers were NOT defending anyone’s freedom!
What appallingly insensitive words - and, coming from someone with your background, to me they have an even greater distasteful ring. I trust you will heed the contributions of roghead, Flatus and GBZ and others. Words fail.
