Poppies.....

[janzman]

It seems to me that every person who is 'on camera' as an interviewer or interviewee whether it be BBC or ITV or SKY or....?.....is wearing a poppy.
I cannot believe that every one of these people has voluntarily purchased their poppy, therefore they have been 'ordered' to wear one and one has been provided.
The whole purpose of The Poppy Appeal is to raise funds to help the families of the fallen in war and so I ask the question ,How much money have the broadcasters donated to the British Legion in order for their staff to appear politically correct.......

[logic]

Would you complain if you saw a presenter on telly not wearing one,?
I know i would,
So it seems the poor presenter is in a no win situation.
as for how much they give for their poppy, is a personal matter,

I think you're assuming none of the presenters made a donation themselves, but you don't know that.

The poppy represents respect and acknowledgement to the servicemen past and present who have given their lives for the freedom we enjoy today.

We vote for the political party of the day, who instruct UK forces and the least we can do is support our men & families through the British Legion.

If some have to be told to wear it, that is their shame.

There are many 'on camera' people who will voluntarily make their donation and therefore wear their poppy with pride But please are you seriously asking me to believe that every act on the X factor and Strickly have donated to the poppy cause.Im simply asking if there is a corporate donation to the British Legion, if there is then thats great but if there isn't then something is wrong within our national phyche

tambourine You say we vote for the political party of the day HA HA HA We have a Prime Minister and a Chancellor of the Exchequer that we DID NOT VOTE FOR because our increasingly inept PM keeps splashing platitudes at us mere mortrals and he truly thinks that we believe him.Sincerity is vital to belief ..once you have figured out how to fake sincerity youve got it made just ask that basstad tony blair.....
