What is a Rememberance Day Flag?

Was this a misundertanding due to the proliferation of Union flags being raised recently.

I cannot believe there would be victimisation of people selling poppies.

As many have said, this is not a left or right thing. Surely EVERYONE wants to remember those who died in conflicts.

This may be be a step too far for many but I see it as the Rememberance of ALL deaths in ALL wars and on ALL sides.

So many gave their lives at the behest of a few that sought, power, wealth or the destruction of certain groups.

There is so much miscommunication in the world nowadays, with 'sides' bending truths to benefit themselves and demonise others.

Even the White Poppy is misunderstood. It is STILL in rememberance of all that died whilst making a stance against wars.

There are a few flags about, perhaps because it shows soldiers that's what offends some,
don' t know why as they are some of the people that lost there lives, who fought for peoples freedom to offend and tear down flags

TBH, you don't even need to wear a poppy just remember, the RBL are not what they used to be and I will not give to them. I would rather donate to a Regimental fund that I know it will be spent on those who need it most rather the elites wages at the top of these organisations.
