It is a good cause , but if you are against war

get a white poppy for peace ...........

Meaningless, and irrelevant: most of those we remember on Poppy Day were also anti-war: nevertheless they went and fought.
And died.

At least all monies raised go to the cause they are meant too and not gobbled up by admin charges.
We should remember the debt they paid to their country in this small gesture

Always with the negative waves JJ
I see those cynical pills are working a treat
Double strength or did you accidently swallow the whole bottle

Maybe it would help if you think of Poppy Coles on Poppy day?

Cynicism-the quickest route to the grave IMHO

Negative? not at all. I am a big supporter of Poppy Day. The whole event is broadly anti-war; always has been.
What I object to is the highjacking of it by a single-issue subset with their own narrower agenda.
Red poppies are fine: no need for white, pink or puce ones.

Only to empty, shallow, meaningless people.
