Snorting the badge?

England can wear poppies on their black armbands, apparently.

Yay

What if one of the players didn't want to wear a poopy?

Poppies are a fashion accessory with no meaning.

The Germans are also allowed to wear Swastikas on theirs. And the French are wearing white armbands that can rapidly be converted to flags. It's all on the condition nobody mentions the war.

Pretty much.

Nothing worse than some twat asking why you're not wearing a poppy as if you've committed a sin. I doubt most know why they're wearing one in the first place.

"Wheeled out once a year/a Cenotaph souvenir"

It's become a badge of honour - almost a symbol of glorification!Makes me very uneasy, not least when I hear people say "I bought a poppy today".
