To be meaningfull Remebrance has to be a concious, personal choice doesn't it?. Surely if it's just been printed on a shirt and handed to you without your request or knowledge it's meaningless isn't it??
Agree. It's nonsense. It's not just nonsense, it's stupid nonsense, which I find offensive.
And fair play to Nemanja Matic, who has worn such a shirt in the past, to stand up and say no. It does not make sense for a Serbian to wear a red poppy.
Personally I choose to wear a white poppy. I don't want to wear Lady Haig's poppy, but I do want to remember. And in terms of ww1, I want as much as anything to remember those who were sacrificed, and all who lost their lives
People should be free to remember as they wish, that is if they wish. It's a personal thing. Poppies, red, white, purple or whatever, should not be subject to group think, peer pressure or the mob mentality.
