The FA must take some of the blame for this situation. This remembrance thing is getting way too big now. Back in the day, football matches had a minutes silence on the Saturday before Remembrance Sunday and nothing else. Town had our remembrance match 3 weeks before Nov 11th this year.
Then there's people being made to wear a poppy on tv. The dancers on Strictly all have to have a poppy on display, even when training. Wearing a poppy has never, and should never be compulsory. So when someone who doesn't wear one, he or she shouldn't have to come under such scrutiny that situations like this occur.
It all makes money for the Royal British Legion though, which can't be a bad thing. But it shouldn't be down to them. There are so many ex soldiers living rough now that it's a national disgrace. The government send these men and boys, women and girls to war, it should be their job to look after them.
