How many folk do you know who get offended by someone wearing a poppy? I don't understand why so many people give both viewpoints equal weighting, as if there are an equal number of people who get utterly SEETHING at people wearing / not wearing a poppy. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can honestly say that I have never witnessed anyone being offended by a poppy. It's almost as if these right wingers are playing the victim card... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

101 Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 400,000 muslims fought in the first world war 62,000 of which died and well over 100,000 Muslims were either wounded or died in the second world war. The sacrifice made during conflict wasn't just white men, however inconvenient that is for some people. Bacon poppies are about as divisive as the Nazi's and yet the cretins posting it see no irony.

I won't wear one either, but I don't get offended by people who do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
