Not that many people will notice (as I'm not out & about much this weekend), but I will not be wearing a poppy this year (as I have not in previous years).
My father (RAF, Bomber Command, DFC) refused to wear one, not least as he was horrified by what he had been required to do in WW2. He thought poppy's were a jingoistic celebration of military nationalism, and I take my lead from him, someone who had direct experience of war, and the toll its takes on both the victims & perpetrators.
