Angry Re: Wear Your RED Poppy With Pride

I’ve never seen a white poppy growing in a field.

However the RED POPPY does not glorify war. It is just a token of remembrance for those who have fallen (civilian and servicmen alike) in conflicts the world over since 1914. There is no class, colour or creed distinction.

It surprises me to discover that the Church of England newspaper the Church Times actually accepted the article for publication. What were they thinking of?

I know one thing – if I ever see anyone selling white poppies I will make my point to the best of my ability.
