Isn't the claim against someone not wearing a poppy somewhat hypocritical as haven't wars been fought over freedom...
I assummed that freedom also allows someone to make a choice of whether to wear a poppy or not.
Sadly its now almost poppy fascism where anybody who doesn't wear one is pillored.
And the height of hypocrisy
racedo when it is has never been customary in Australia to wear them on the day preceding Armistice Day.
To be fair, Rememberence day is somewhat overshadowed in Australia by ANZAC day, which is a public holiday. Quite a few Aussie wear poppies, but only on the day. Normally it's the Poms who wear them for the week before
Precisely
Ogre and only a Pom would make the error. Total beat-up!
Today, November 11th 2012 both ladies who were so unjustly pilloried observed correct protocol at the AWM.
