npub1g0tuf634rz4suczwj7kgnecr6cyt0eu9xmp3sp0fku68mqehq4msp3tvm4 (npub1g0t…tvm4) The likes of the BBC would not allow you to appear without a poppy. They would stick one on you quickly, seconds before going on air, to avoid dissent (from personal experience of the BBC's rules).

As Harry Patch noted:
remembrance as practiced today is "just showbusiness". It was a view widely held by survivors from immediately after the Armistice, because showbusiness was easy, whilst caring for survivors needed resources.
