Why didn’t Matic wear a poppy on his shirt yesterday?
Didn’t know about this, but it’s meantioned in this (now annual) article about James McClean (who btw did a tremendous wum by quoting bobby sands in his response)

Was delighted to see today that Stagecoach buses have not Forgotten. Every bus ‘wearing’ the poppy.
Moaning about mental students snowflakes taking over the world? This %@#$&!s becoming de rigueur is a thousand times worse than clapping bans. Watched Strictly last night. Every £#%&!er had a pin badge on, a week and bit before Remembrance Sunday. God forbid a second might go by without a salsa jive being danced on British tv by a Hungarian fruit poppy-less. |

When I was a kid - 35 years after the end of war - I’m sure it was only worn the week of the 11th and it certainly wasn’t a huge drama. For me it was a respectful nod to the sacrifices made in WW1 and to a lesser degree WW2. Now? It’s a big deal going straight from Halloween to this. Next year I might wear a red pumpkin with Hitler’s face cut into it. |
