Poppies on the England Shirts

As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

F*ck poppies

I can't agree with you posting this. I wear a poppy as a sign of respect for those who died for their country.
I don't agree with how ex-servicemen are treated by the government. Also a lot of ex-servicemen do not agree with how they are treated by the government. Yet I am yet to meet an ex-servicemen who does not wear a poppy - let alone share your "fuck poppies" view.

of course ex-servicemen support the poppy appeal
if there was a snogs from supermodels for JD appeal I would support it

but if there was the possibility of snogs from supermodels being a legal right for JD I would rather have that

Poppy appeal is a bandaid that allows the govt to continue to shaft soldiers
