Your xenophobic replies are worth less than a single sheet of single ply toilet paper is to a case of diarrhea, and in my estimation, right in line with the policies proliferated by those whose demise you celebrate in your Remembrance Day commemoration.

Honoring the victims of war is clearly a noble act and one which I admire and respect. I, however, choose to honor all victims of war without the poppy. I also choose to view the poppy as a symbol of what I (and many others) believe it is: a symbol of unjust British imperialism, militarism, and oppression.

Since we are employed in a multinational corporation where many will take different views on national symbolism, it is in my opinion, best to avoid brandishing offensive insignia, such as the swastika or the poppy, at work.
