I always wear a red poppy. I don’t give a toss what anyone else wears or what they think about it.

Buy a new one every year, sometimes the one with the Swans badge, sometimes not.

I have never been able to wear the traditional poppy without wrecking it

Same here. Should be a personal choice to wear a poppy and the type worn.

Yeah, I haven’t been out and about to buy a bin badge this year but the paper ones always fold up or fall off.

Never worn a poppy and never will. Hate wearing symbols whatever message they purport to convey. Creates a us and them.

Poppy fascism just hardened my resolve never to.

Wearing a poppy nowadays is more about the wearer than anything else.

As is your right due to the society we live in thanks to those that fought for it, no problem with that, like I said, I don’t give a toss whether you do or don’t.
