Unfortunately post-Diana Britain seems to have picked up a certain scouse quality of grief culture, be it overly aggressively supporting charitable causes or being keen to be seen as being most upset at whatever event (it says a lot that all three England RL internationals have been preceded by a minutes silence including one for a woman who got run over ffs).
You're quite within your rights not to buy a poppy for whatever reason you choose. Whilst modern soldiers certainly put a lot at stake for the greater good they also do it out of choice. On Remembrance Sunday I think it's far more relevant to remember those who died without much choice in the matter, and buying a poppy doesn't make a blind bit of difference to their lives.

Can't say I've ever been pressured into buying a poppy. Its a personal decision and I dont think they should question anyone that declines to buy. But I dont think its a particularly common problem.

I've had far fewer poppy sellers or even double glazing salesmen put me under pressure than I've had religious nutters like kirkstaller trying to blag me.
I'm glad he felt uncomfortable, he'd be in even more discomfort if someone shoved his tambourine up his ar[is[/ie |

| Quote JerryChicken="JerryChicken"PS I actually agree with Kirkstaller on this one, its a personal choice to buy or wear a poppy, if you've bought one then its not compulsory to wear it, "None of your business" would have been a satisfactory answer and if they want to get a bit y and speak of their friends out in Afghanistan then I too would not have given them my business, their "friends" out in Afghanistan are there through personal choice and FFS you're already offering to support the cause.'"
Wot he says. |

There's a lot of good points here – shame you ruined it by the anti-scouse thing. And I'm not even a scouser. |

How many times? I'm not religious and I doubt the people you've had try to blag you are anything like me. |

As others have said, it's a personal choice and no-one should be pressured into buying a poppy or be hassled for not wearing one. If I were Kirkstaller I'd complain to the Council about it.
