I disagree.

I don't see the wearing a poppy as being political.

Which is probably why the police are allowed to wear them, just as they are with the new emblem that this story is about.

(I bet if you asked any old miner, or anyone living in Northern Ireland, if they thought the police force was a military force, they might have a different opinion to your's.)
