I was disgusted to see today that a Christian lobby group headed by Jonathan Bartley has suggested that we wear white poppies instead of red ones. They say that we should wear one to support the end of all wars. I say that they are a bunch of hippy loonies who sit around trees singing kum ba yah. May I suggest Mr Bartley that you would be more suited to wearing a white feather rather than a white poppy. I mean Remembrance Day, Remembrance Sunday and the red poppy are all dedicated to remember those soldiers who have died fighting wars for our freedom. If Mr Bartley wants a day to help stop all wars then he should take his white feather (I mean poppy) and his loony friends, go to France where they welcome coward losers and set up a day there and stop trying to take our Remembrance Day away from us. His suggestion apart from being insane has two major errors; the first is that there is no such thing as a white poppy, poppies are naturally red. The second is that his suggestion of halting all wars does not allow for just wars. For example in 1939 Britain needed to go to war against Hitler and the Nazis to preserve our freedom which is all well and good. Whereas Mr Bartley would have wanted no war, it doesn’t matter to him that we would have Nazis marching around Britain and monitoring our every move so long as we don’t declare war Mr Bartley would have been happy. And Mr Bartley should be ashamed of calling himself a Christian because Christianity believes that it is the only true religion and all other religions are wrong and should be dispensed off which means war, just look at the crusades. In the end the 11th November is Remembrance Day and the closest Sunday is Remembrance Sunday and I will observe the two minute silence and I will be wearing my red poppy as well.

They actually miss the significance of the RED poppy anyways.
Poppys are red, to start with, and the reason we use them is in the first instance because they are the first thing that grows on disturbed soil and the only time the do grow in abundance and when that soil is quiet, and that's a fact, so they are a sign of renewal and peace.
Then they represent the blood spilled, which is an old wives tale but a good one.
I heard it said a few years ago that there should be green poppies too to remember the muslims who dies in the wars...predictably.
All religions are guilty of stupidity.
As a side note, the small graphic on the left column where it says, "A Very British Dude" I've actually seen and touched that flag, and I shit you not, and it humbles you to think of it when you see the blood and holes in it. Anyone visiting Londo should try and see the Guards Chapel, a Christian chapel, where the walls are lined with battle flags, colours and honours from the past three hundred years of the Gurads brigade; they are all bullet holed and bloodied, literally...then say all Christians are slaves to political correctness...lol.
