Let the England National team wear poppies on their shirts
FIFA are an absolute disgrace not allowing the England national team to wear poppies on their shirts against Span on the 12 November.
This needs to change.
the poppie is not a sign of disrespect to any religion or nationality but the poppies provide publicity for Remembrance Sunday, the second in November, when we – according to the Legion – “remember those who have given their lives for the freedom we enjoy”. As a first observation, then, the poppy appeal is clearly enough a nationalist business of some sort, whereby we accept those dead soldiers as ‘our war dead’, who died for ‘us’
