    The additional missing context is that in recent years the poppy has been co-opted by right wing flag-shaggers to the point where people not visibly wearing a poppy become a target for abuse. For anyone in the public eye it’s become literally mandatory if they don’t want to risk their job.

    What was supposed to be a way to honour the war dead has been turned into a gross nationalist purity test.
