that's how the headline reads - but it's not how it was reported on TV last night, nor indeed is it said in the text of the article. The police are investigating not the refusal, but threats made after the event. and the driver wasn't dismissed for refusing to transport poppies, but for falsifying his job card.
all very strange, eh?

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Quickly reading through this thread but not having seen or heard any of the media coverage, I do not understand whether anybody refused to deliver "poppies" or whether a Muslim was involved in whatever happened or did not happen. I am, however, clear on one thing and that is that religion of a sort is involved and that is in regard to the sanctity of a fake flower as a war totem which is a uniquely de rigueur British preoccupation (vaguely familiar to the ex-empire) once a year every year when there is, sure as clockwork, public posturing and sanctimonious mutterings of sacrifice, etc. spew forth. Is this really going to go on forever ? How long is the "glorious" slaughter of humans going to be celebrated ? Will it never become a time for mourning over the folly of war and military pompousness - at least in private ? Is it too much to hope that the 100th time will be the last ?
