Lest we Forget

Joking aside. Wear a poppy to work here and you're fine.

Easter lily? Bigot.
 
@alwaysright help me out buddy?
We live in a 'free' society - only because our ancestors were prepared to oppose regimes that would have us all being oppressed. I think that it is disrespectful not to 'remember' and acknowledge their sacrifice for one day a year. I'm not asking anyone to 'do anything' ((physically), - or to wear a poppy - but just to have a few thoughts of gratitude for your freedom - or at least allow others to do everything you don't want to do to commemorate the anniversary without making remarks such as being glad that some councils have banned the 'sale' of poppies..... I actually cannot think of a word that adequately describes my disgust of them - or those who make remarks to applaud such action.
