Spare a thought for the men and women of the White Poppy appeal. And don't make it a kind thought. This wretched outfit "believes that there are better ways of solving conflicts than killing strangers". That is how they describe the sacrifice of British and Allied lives in the inescapable war against Nazi Germany and the Axis powers.
People who wear white poppies – who include the sanctimonious prats of the "Christian" think tank Ekklesia – not only dishonour our war dead: they also assert their supposed moral superiority over the 40 million Britons who wear British Legion red poppies.
What should you do if you see a white poppy wearer today? At the very least you should give them a cheery wave not involving the use of all your fingers.

I recently did a 3 day WW1 battlefield tour in France and Belgium staying at Ypres taking some school kids, and it certainly opened my eyes to what those guy's went through. The war graves are immaculate and well tended all over the region. I intend to go back in my car next time to take more time looking around.
