Poppy Watch

[Milltown Row2]

Jesus! The paranoia is early again this year! People wear poppies people wear lillies who actually gives a f**k?

The fascists, apparently.

Lily wearers are fascists?

Have I Got News For You on BBC 1 right now. An old episode but you just know the timing is deliberate and that it will now be acceptable to wear a poppy from now on in. getting earlier and earlier as each year passes.

I put a match of the day I recorded last November and Gary Lineker was wearing a poppy, bastards, couldn't believe it!

I'm not offended per se, but the poppy display ensures that I will never support of the six county soccer team. In fact, the poppy display is one of many reasons.

Would you automatically support the opposition then?

I've never heard of people being pretty much obliged to wear lilies on TV shows of playing football. So not the same.

No, in the same way that you would not automatically support anyone who plays England, or anyone that plays Ireland.

Anyone that wears a poppy on the BBC wears it cause they want too, if they don't want to they won't... so take that issue up with them

Well more fool them for wearing it, purely personal choice as legally you don't have to. I could be wrong there but I doubt it very much... obviously if they are wearing against their "stance" then they are numpties

Surely you can imagine, in this day and age of trial by social media, that the issue is more than just being compromised by management or peers into wearing it. The aftermath and 'public' outcry would be much worse.

The BBC seemingly gets away with this carry on, the seem to be able to ignore the concept of Fair Employment.
