There is such a hoo ha at the moment about poppies warn in remembrance . A real pressure is there for everyone in the public eye to appear to wear one . Once this wasnt a band wagon but an honest remembrance of those who died in the two world wars fighting a very real overwhelming evil threat to all of Europe .
Nowadays our wars are political or even done on a knee jerk whim. They are badly planned and funded small minded , petty affairs . I know a poppie is to remember the dead not the causes of recent wars but I'm afraid I'm not up to that task . We should hang our heads in shame for the past ten years and the wasted lives our politicians have squandered . We have ruined the pride we should be feeling . I hope one day someone will lead this country back to some kind of honour . An anti war poppie would be a good idea but i doubt it would be misunderstood.
