It seems strange to me that here in the UK the red poppy is still associated with, and helps fund, Imperialistic aims within our society. As a veteran I believe that those who paid the ultimate price to protect the rest of us from tyranny (WWII) deserve remembrance as much, if not more so, than any other members of the forces. The world recognises the poppy for Remembrance of ALL who fell in all conflicts.
