RBL encourage white poppies if you read their literature and press releases and fully understand the sentiment. After all, many of their people have experienced the reality rather than the glory of fucking war.

The opportunistic Church of England meanwhile love to hijack remembrance on the basis of links with the royalty we inadvertently link to our warring past. Perhaps their scholars never got as far as thou shalt not kill and turn the other cheek.

The many Muslims, Sikhs and Jews who fought must wonder, those still left from WW2, why religious fascism didn't die with social fascism.

That's before you get to considering rational people who don't relate sky fairies of any description with the futile glorification of state sponsored butchery. Who lights a candle for the real brave ones, the conscientious objectors incarcerated and shunned by bloodthirsty idiots?
