"There is only one true poppy;"
says who?
you can't be a monarchist and then whine like a little baby whenever royalty do things you don't like. you wanted an unaccountable head of state appointed by birth and for life - here it is, you've got it. the king is not accountable to anyone because he's the king and the monarchist system means that if he recognises more than one "true poppy" (lol) then there's more than one. them's the breaks and if you don't like it then stop supporting this stupid system.
the king is quite literally superior to everyone posting on this thread. irrespective of hid prattishness or his senility or his intellectual powers. he is "the better" of me you and everyone you know for no reason other than he was birthed by queen elizabeth in the right order.
don't like it? me neither. let's get rid.
I have a brooch made up of red,purple, black and white poppies in a circle. I feel it's appropriate to remember the animals who were essential to the war effort and remain in warzones in various roles, those of diverse backgrounds who volunteered despite their home countries often being completely separate from the fields of conflict, and the civilians who died, not all those who died were service personnel but many who were taken by all sides and from all sides were still part of the same conflict the factory workers, those in reserved occupations, the families struggling on at home. I also wear Dave's merchant navy pin, those sailors to me were so brave, keeping the country going despite in many cases being effectively defenceless. The convoy system was not always effective.
The king doesn't always get it right, but he seems to try hard at being the best he can.
pasta//Where as the many representatives of black cultures who've supported this country and lost their lives since the 16th century may be largely unknown and unsung.
"since the 16th century" has nothing at all to do with the poppies which began after the first world war & continue to date.
Why would the black people be less represented than the whites?
Any service man or woman who died in WW1 or 11 is recorded, whatever race colour or creed on memorials and in archives.
Have you never visited a war cemetery ? there are a large variety of gravestones bearing not only Christian crosses but symbols of Islam, Hinduism and more.
p.s. It's actually called
Armistice Day, later known as Remembrance Day in the Commonwealth and Veterans Day in the United States, it is commemorated every year on 11 November to mark the armistice signed between the Allies of World War I and Germany at Compiègne, France, at 5:45 am[1] for the cessation of hostilities on the Western Front of World War I, which took effect at eleven in the morning—the "eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month" of 1918.
Nothing to do with singling out animals or black people, (or peoples of the '16th century') There are plenty of animal charities & a large monument to the horses of war raised by public money, next to Hyde Park. Black & brown soldiers are adequately included in the red poppy, as they always were.
