As a "red" seller, could I just ask for clarification of the nature of
these white ones ?

Thanks

They are supposed to convey a wish for peace, in addition to the
remembrance of those killed or maimed by war.

Margaret Thatcher despised the idea of white poppies, and the red poppy
lobby say that the red ones also promote peace.
In N Ireland they have an association with Unionists, so there is a
further influence.

I don't remember seeing a white poppy.

Me neither.
Doves are the nearest that have a true white version for peace
