The irony being, world war 1 started in Serbia
 
Wearing a poppy or not of whatever hue is a personal choice, which is just fine, but at this time of year anyone not wearing one, as a personal choice or statement is just a supreme arsehole in my opinion.

It's like stating the loss of life, on whatever side, and the suffering of countless millions in the first half of the last century is just so irrelevant to me that I cannot even be arsed to wear a tiny symbol of remembrance.

Just an opinion like, but I'd like to see some of the 'virtue signalling' non wearers up against my 1st world war, Graig Merthyr colliery fireman grandfather, who would have ripped them a new one...only metaphorically of course!

So you’re all for personal choice except that anyone exercising it is an asrehole. :lol:

I'm saying that it is absolutely fine that someone decides not to wear a poppy, but in reality I think they are a cnt!
