Everyone on TV wears a poppy, starting around this time of year.
It is supposed to commemorate how stupid it was to force millions of people to die in pointless power-struggle racism-fueled wars. The red for all the blood spilled.
I don't generally bother. It seemed to become more a symbol of heroism than a lament at the horror and pointlessness. To encourage soldiers rather than discourage them from agreeing to this insanity.
I put one in my profile name for a bit this year though.
It ain't red.
The pointless utter horror of it all, never ended it seems. I mean come on.
And apparently a poppy these colours has been working as an excellent troll on the insane gammon press.
