Camila's poppy

[anotheoldgit]

Should Camila have worn a poppy on her Asian type dress or should she have gone all the way and wore a veil? What are they touring Pakistan for anyway?

[crete]

because its november and pakistan is warmer than britain.

[sabs]

What's wrong with touring Pakistan anyway?

[NH]

It's the royal family, so I frankly don't give a flying **** and don't understand why anyone else does.

[shiraz83]

Who cares? It's just a poppy, you can wear it with whatever you like!

[shiraz83]

Just saw an Asian lady wear a poppy on the news btw!

[johnizere]

it's not "just a poppy" shiraz.........

[laurence2]

shiraz, ''its just a poppy'' ?

What do you mean by that.

Its a fcuking insult that that dozy cow {camilla} did'nt wear it, because i quote, it did'nt go with her '' asian outfit''

And for the record, i'm not into royalty.

[shiraz83]

Ok guys i know a poppy is more than a flower, but my point was, what's wrong with wearing it with an asian outfit? I don't see the fuss, and I don't think it should be frowned upon, that's what i was trying to emphasize...

[laurence2]

theres nothing wrong with wearing it with an asian outfit, she did'nt want to upset a certain minority in pakistan, so a royal spokeman, made out that it did'nt go with the outfit.

She decided to insult all the people that gave there lifes in ''Wars'' . thats whats wrong.

Charles wore his, she should've worn hers, no excuse, she should be hauled over the coals for taking it off, but she won't.

Isn't it astonishing that not one word was published this week decrying the royal visit to a military dictatorship? Not one blooming word asking what the hell is Charles Windsor doing propping up an undemocratic regime while that regime is implementing "justice" by summarily bombing schools because, that little fascist creep Pakistani general said, "there were miscreants there". And Charles and Camilla smiled for the cameras.

But then we all know about Charles leanings and views towards islam.
He can never be allowed to become king of this country, he is as much a danger to our future as the current people "running " it.

If he had any bottle he would have insisted that camilla wore the poppy, but obviously he hasnt

[Pippa68]

How soon is the poppy supposed to be worn? in my view, if people (Charles in particular) didn't wear it a few weeks before they were supposed to we wouldn't have this 'news' story ;o)

Just a thought.....

[ummmm]

So over the top...

calm down calm down

The Irish don't wear poppy's and loads of them died in the wars!

[sp1814]

On a sligtly unrelated subject, when is it appropriate to stop wearing the poppy?

Rememberance Sunday is this weekend, right? Should one stop wearing it the following day? Y'know...like white shoes after Labor Day? (That's one for the American AB'ers).

[Pippa68]

It's now been revealed that Camilla was wearing her poppy ~ it was covered up by her outfit....

[smudge]

I usually wear a red poppy from the first day in November, up until a couple of days after Armistice day.

Thinking of my dear Grandad & all others who fought for their Country & who lost their lives in WW1 & WW2.

Also for all the servicemen/women, who have lost their lives since then!

[Dee-M-See]

How much more insulting can this adultress get?
I think it is an absolute disgrace that she hopes to Queen yet won't wear a poppy to honour the war dead
We should make her wear one of those Muslim masks that the muslim women wear, then we would be spared looking at that face

[robotics]

reading the replys to this topic, OMG

The poppy is not just about remembrance its not just about those who fought in the two World Wars of the last century, its also about those involved in the many other conflicts worldwide and those who are still fighting for peace and freedom now. It also about remembering loved ones lost, learning from the past and resolving to make the world a better place to live in the future

Whoever camila thinks she is, she is representing this country, and she should of been wareing the poppy in support of all the soliders etc who are still fighting
