It is around this time that we see TV personalities, newsreaders etc. wearing red poppies. I have noticed people wearing Green Buttons/Badges recently.
Are these one and the same or what do these Green Buttons/Badges mean?
poppies on the news readers this morning - soon they'll be wearing them all year around.
Your favourite time of the year pints!

Not that bothered at all - I don't see many where I am and at least I know the people I do see wearing them aren't doing so to rub people's faces in it.
So what are the Green Bottons about?
As far as I remember they're from a children's charity

Ahh. Now I know. Thanks.
I have it now..... it was for the NSPCC's "Cruelty to Children must Stop. Full stop" campaign:

In the UK, the protection of animals has Royal approval (RSPCA) but the protection of children does not (NSPCC). Why is that?
What's the equivalent in the free state?
ISPCC and ISPCA

I'm thinking of setting up the SPFLA (Society for the Protection of Five Letter Acronyms)
