Media silence on Poppy Wearing

Treppen · 2020-07-09 21:05:55

I find it very strange not one newspaper has covered the pushing of the poppy every year lately. Is it going to be abandoned?

Because it's been done.

People wear the poppy for their own reasons, even Irish people.

John wears the poppy because his great grandfather died heroically fighting nazis in ww2.

Jim is against irish people wearing the poppy because his grandfather was badly mistreated by british soldiers lookong for information.
