B725 Posted October 31, 2020 Report Share Posted October 31, 2020 I've just been watching Alex Belfield on YouTube and it shows that within two minutes of being on air both BBC presenters had removed their poppies what a disgrace to all the men women and children that died to give us a peaceful and free world,it makes you wonder what the world is coming to.

Scully Posted October 31, 2020 Report Share Posted October 31, 2020 I wear mine during the week leading up to and including the 11th, and that’s it. Always have. I know some who only don a poppy on Remembrance Sunday itself, and why not? Each to their own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B725 Posted October 31, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2020 Naga somebody and some bloke who I cannot remember his name. BBC World presenters were not allowed to wear poppies because the symbol, worn to remember British and Commonwealth soldiers killed in war, was not recognised abroad and was therefore inappropriate for an international channel, the corporation said. www.telegraph.co.uk › uknews › B...

toontastic Posted October 31, 2020 Report Share Posted October 31, 2020 I notice today that all bbc presenters are wearing poppies. This sounds like they've gone on set with poppies on, only to be told they are wearing them a day early so they removed them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker570 Posted October 31, 2020 Report Share Posted October 31, 2020 Our Parish Council and village have put up the large poppies on all the posts and signs through the village this last week and they will stay for a couple of weeks at least. Putting a time limit on remebrance is just idiiotic. I have not had TV for 36yrs so not in tune.... no pun intended ... with present day BBC. I did see the shot on youtube and just could not believe it. What a ....no no cannot express myself as I will be doing a Ditchie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welsh1 Posted October 31, 2020 Report Share Posted October 31, 2020 Every year the poppy nazis come out of the woodwork, who cares if someone doesn't want to wear a poppy, it's their choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
