Apparently I read somewhere that international viewers wouldn't recognise it.



this one is behind a paywall, sorry, but the headline is there.

Fake news. Who it that man anyway? When was he talking about? All of the presenters on breakfast this morning had a poppy on at the beginning, the end and during the middle. The reader in news 24 has one on now as does the weather guy. The click presenter has one on.

Also I thought it was still a bit early (in the year) for poppies. Not that I care I generally wear mine all year round

Should have known really "apparently I read somewhere" Might just as well say "I am posting fake news" and have done with it

I purchase one as soon as the ladies and gentlemen from the RBL come out to sell them. I collect the dated enamel pins so was lucky to buy one last week. That was when my full size Union Flag was flown with the rememberance poppy in the middle

eeva wiv poppies or just by oneself - no? I am usually out on a limb in these things

If it happened I would have expected him to show video from the actual show and not a couple of stills.

I love the fact that chump in the video calls himself "the voice of reason". Voice of reason my sphincter.
