I thought it was a bit OTT last night on Strictly, that they all wore

This might have been vaguely on topic if the poppy was a real poppy.
Only joking.
Joking aside, IMO everybody who has a conscience should remember why we are
all still free, and wear that poppy with pride.

In a few years time nobody will remember 11/11. because its not in our
lifetime. Winston and all the lost heroes of 2 world wars will no doubt be
in the history lessons when we and a couple more generations have passed.

Indeed.

I shall "wear my poppy with pride" and go to our local war memorial
ceremony. I had an uncle killed in the trenches who is fondly
remembered tho' I never knew him.
What I am criticising is the fact that just about everyone on BBC TV
is wearing one and I wonder whether they are given the choice. I heard
that Jon (or Peter) Snow has refused to wear one before 11th.
