    Wrong board guys. wearing a poppy is making a political statement. It is to do with the politics of war. Waging war is a political act. Arguably probably the biggest political act you can have for human beings.

    Zoom it off mods to the correct place.

    Still some people still need to read up on sociology on here it seems.

    Personally I would fall into this category

    ...Understood in these terms, the fact that some choose on principle not to wear the red poppy is entirely reasonable. To do so is not to insult the dead, but to question the purpose for which it is often said they died. I am profoundly sympathetic to such a sentiment and will quite happily defend the right of people not to wear the British Legion’s poppy (or indeed the right to wear the white poppy in its stead).
