Why are the poppy police picking on people this year for not wearing poppies/not wearing enough poppies/not wearing poppies early enough? IMHO the current bullying of non-poppy wearers is disrespectful to those who fought in wars for freedom and democracy. I have always bought a poppy but this year, in protest at the bullying, I have not. I will remember those who gave their lives in my own private way with a donation and a prayer for peace.
