If the money was coming from a fund whoever orders the poppies must know where they’re ordering them and consequently where the money is ending up. It’s daft to say otherwise. Political correctness under wraps I reckon. A cowardly excuse.

Why are Chief Constables willing to spend nearly £800 to paint their vehicle in gay pride colours and allow their officers to stumble around in high heels and painted fingernails and generally make fools of themselves when a poppy has far more meaning for those we should be demonstrating our respect.If an officer purchases a poppy from a bona fide source then they should and must be allowed, if they so wish , to purchase a car poppy out of their own pocket and, providing their crew member has no objections, display it with pride and solemn respect.

Thank God for a Chief who shows respect and allows former armed service personnel to do likewise . Two constables who lead the way.
The Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire Road Policing Unit will feature poppies on all of its marked patrol vehicles in the lead-up to Remembrance Day on November 11.
